When asked to choose between football icons Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, he gives a nod at Messi.

The Super Eagles captain is then captured arriving at the PAOK FC training center for a one-on-one workout session followed by a rigorous training session on the pitch. He also undergoes some therapeutic massages and treatment for his leg.

“I’m feeling really good; this is one of my last sessions. I’m doing individual to clear me for team training. I’ve done some team bits already, but to be fully back, hopefully the last three games of the season, that’s my target now”, the Nigerian defender says after training, revealing his eagerness to give Paok FC a boost in the Super League.

The video also provides a rare glimpse into Ekong’s family life, featuring his wife Molly and their three children at their beautiful home. Despite keeping his family out of the spotlight, Ekong offers fans a brief glimpse into his life off the pitch
