Super Eagles midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi has spoken about the warm message he received from former Nigeria and Marseille defender, Taye Taiwo, following his move to the French club. Taiwo, a respected figure at Marseille, openly welcomed the young midfielder and wished him success at the Ligue 1 side.

In a video shared on Marseille’s official social media platforms, Taiwo congratulated Nnadi and encouraged him to enjoy his time at the club. The former defender expressed pride in seeing another Nigerian player join the French giants and reminded him of the strong bond among Nigerians.
