Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong could be on his way to the Italian Serie A before the end of the transfer window as Bologna are reportedly eyeing a move for him.

William Troost-Ekong is currently playing for English Championship side Watford who relegated last season from the Premier League.

The Nigerian has a contract with Watford until 2025, but he is currently out of favour at the club having made just one appearance in the Championship.

Although Bologna have signed some defenders so far this season, but the club's eggheads still want to add more this summer.

What is their position on the Serie A table?

Bologna are currently not finding it rosy this season in the Serie A as they have played 3 games so far and they are yet to record any win and currently occupying 16th position.

Coach Salisu Yusuf Reveals How Super Eagles Will Beat Ghana in Abuja

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Salisu Yusuf, who is the head coach of the Super Eagles team B, has stated emphatically that his wards are now aware of Ghana's strength and capability ahead of the CHAN second leg qualifiers.

Last Friday, the Super Eagles team B travelled to Cape Coast for the clash against the Black Stars which they lost 2-0 as the likes of Andy Okpe and Afeez Nasiru were unable to shine.

Before the encounter, Salisu Yusuf explained that the Super Eagles would try to get a decent result against their big rivals, who are now one leg in picking the ticket for the 2023 CHAN.

As things stand now, Salisu Yusuf and his boys will have to record a 3-0 win in the return leg against Ghana when they meet in Abuja on Sunday, 3 September.
