Troost-Ekong Tried to Convince David Promise for Nigeria
William Troost-Ekong, the former captain of the Super Eagles, revealed that he made efforts to convince Canadian striker David Promise to dedicate his international career to Nigeria rather than Canada. David, who was born in Ontario, ultimately chose to switch allegiance to represent Canada.
He is currently playing for Royal Union Saint-Gilloise and has made a notable impact in the ongoing U23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Tanzania. David requires FIFA approval to play for Canada, having previously participated in Nigeria's U23 competitions.
Troost-Ekong confirmed that he engaged in discussions with David regarding the possibility of representing the Super Eagles. David scored during Canada's 2-1 defeat against Switzerland in the final group match of the 2026 World Cup, showcasing his talent on an international stage.
