Former Kogi United gaffer Folabi Ojekunle has hailed Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo for his decision to move to the Saudi Arabian League joining Al Nassr.

The Tottenham trained coach stressed that Ronaldo has made the best decision of his wife and he wished him well in Saudi Arabia.

Statement made by Ojekunle

''All the critics talking should stop and give Ronaldo an applause for the fulfilled football journey so far in his career as many of his mates who started with him are even retired.
''For him still playing at his age means he is a great man and someone the whole world should respect and adore.
''Is there any title he has not won in Europe? so what else?.''

Why Ronaldo rejected European teams

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Cristiano Ronaldo revealed he had multiple offers from Europe but opted to make the bold move to the gulf region.

Reports surrounding the future of Ronaldo suggested the Portuguese superstar lacked suitors from Europe owing to his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.

However, in his press briefing prior to his unveiling as a new player of Al Nassr, Ronaldo disclosed he was actually spoilt for choice but made the odd yet brave choice to swap Europe for Asia.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who inked a mammoth £175 million per year deal with the Saudi side, received a rapturous welcome from Al Nassr fans.
