I am not sure what is going on with Nigerian Players and Turkey Someone needs to tell them that they all moving there will bring the level of our National team down. I mean Turkey’s best players don’t even stay in The Turkish League they have better ambition than that.
One Minute its Man UTD and Atletico Madrid With Wilfred now it is Besiktas
This is true @Ugo. Our players must be playing in better leagues.
Ndidi’s end product is average, most especially his poor shooting accuracy. That is where Partey and Yaya toure stands above him. Big teams knows what they’re looking for. If he learns from the above two at this old age then we can see a miracle transfer next window. Lol just being honest!
