Former Super Eagles and Reading defender Sam SODJE has
advised Nigerian players to set a target of playing in the English
Premier League for themselves. Sodje in a chat with
brila.net offered this advice to
Nigerian players both foreign and home-based following the start of
the 2020/2021 EPL season. “The EPL is the best league and every
player in the world not only Nigerian players should work hard in
order to get a chance to appear in the League,” Sodje told
brila.net. ”Not just Nigerian players, I think a lot of footballers
at the moments will prefer the EPL because of the attention and
opportunities that comes with playing in the League. It’s
prestigious. ”EPL gives every footballer a platform where people
recognize your talent easily and fast, I will advise every player
to come to play in the premier league.
