“There is a raw edge to each of these three clubs – Rangers, Feyenoord and NAC Breda.
“That is something I like. Some like a fashionable or stately club, I like clubs where it is very pure and passionate. That is really reflected in these three clubs.
“I also know if you don't perform, it's extra tough, but when it goes well, they are the most beautiful clubs in the world,” the Super Eagles striker said in quotes revealed by Herald Scotland.
“So I am lucky that I have been able to play for three of those clubs that are also truly exceptional in that respect.
“At Rangers, Feyenoord and NAC Breda, my friends and family who come to visit all say: ‘wow, this was not normal and I didn't expect it'. I think that is something very special and I am proud of it,” the Belgium-born Nigerian concluded.
