Troost-Ekong moved the Saudi Arabian Pro League last year, as that is where the big bags are…

Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has taken to social media to flaunt his brand new customized gold-plated iPhone 17, Soccernet.ng reports.

The former Udinese defender is fresh off international break duty with Nigeria, as the Super Eagles scraped to get a World Cup playoff spot after wins over Lesotho and Benin.

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

But just before the action resumes, Troost-Ekong posted a picture of his new iPhone 17 on Thursday.

But it wasn't just the normal iPhone 17, it was a customized 24 karat gold-plated one. The phone, which is the latest in the iPhone family features his name and shirt number 5 at the back.

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.
