Almería: ‘ Sadiq Will Strengthen Our Attack’

Spanish Segunda side, Almeria have disclosed that they actually decided to go for Umar Sadiq because they believe the Nigerian striker will strengthen the team’s attack.

Sadiq completed a deadline day move to Almeria from Partizan Belgrade of Serbia on a five-year deal with Sportski Zurnal claiming the deal was worth a fee of €5m (£4.5m).

Almeria wrote on their official website: “Umar Sadiq’s fancy footwork will strengthen Almería’s attack. The 23-years-old moves from FK Partizan Belgrade on a five-year deal.

“Last season, he signed for FK Partizan Belgrade, where he really excelled thanks to his fancy footwork. In point of fact, he scored a total of 23 goals in 52 games, in addition to providing 19 assists.

“Despite his great height, he is a talented, skilled centre-forward. He is fast and always maintains fluidity in his game.

“He is a great one for playing out from the back to keep possession and lean on his team-mates. Hence, in addition to scoring goals, his effective assists stats are still remarkable to this very day.”
