By Sampson Adedeji
Nigeria's Super Eagles defender William Troost Ekong has admitted that this present player remained the best he has played with in the national team, BSNSports.com.ng reports.
The Paok Salonika player made the statement while speaking to the France news outlet AFP, he acknowledged that the present best striker in Africa is in the teamÂ
He believes that the defenders can also be better.
"If I look at the players we have now, I think it might be the best team I have played in for Nigeria. That is with all due respect to some of the legends that have been there.
"I think we have the most exciting attack in Africa. We have the best player in Africa who is our number nine.
 But I was not surprised, I think I know what the defenders can do as well and I believe so much in this group.
"I think we have maybe been underrated a little bit defensively", he said.
Ekong made his debut for Nigeria in 2015 and was part of the Dream Team at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
