The 32-year-old center-back has already returned to his base in Saudi Arabia to resume club duties for Al Kholood.

How Much Is Troost-Ekong’s iPhone?

Troost-Ekong’s latest purchase shows his great taste, as of course it wouldn’t come cheap. In fact, it is for a reserved few, who have the cash to splash.

His gold-plated iPhone 17 could cost as much as $4,600-$8,000, which is around ₦7 million – 12.5 million.

The Super Eagles captain is not known to be a flashy person, but this latest purchase shouldn’t be surprising, as he is where the money is - Saudi Arabia.

The 32-year-old is reportedly on an annual pay of ₦7billion, which is the highest paycheck in his entire career. So of course, he is allowed to spoil himself.

The former Watford man is the skipper at Okhdood. They are currently rooted to the bottom of the Saudi Pro League, having lost their first four games of the season.

He will be looking to help them climb higher up the table in the coming weeks to avoid getting relegated to the second tier.
