Troy Deeney Criticizes Super Eagles Captain Troost-Ekong Amid Bonus Dispute

Former Watford striker Troy Deeney has reignited his criticism of Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong, questioning his leadership following a dispute over bonuses with the Nigeria Football Federation. Deeney accused Troost-Ekong of disrespect for choosing to air his views publicly instead of addressing the issue directly.

The clash between the two players escalated after Troost-Ekong's handling of the bonus settlement with the squad. Deeney stood firm in his stance, highlighting the lack of authority he expects from a national team captain with Troost-Ekong's experience.

The ongoing war of words reflects tensions within the Nigerian football community.
