Mirandes manager Joseba Etxeberria has labelled Umar Sadiq “a first- rate” striker ahead of his side’s league clash against Almeria on Sunday.
Sadiq has scored 10 goals in 22 league appearances for Almeria this season making him one of the deadliest strikers in the Spanish Segunda Division.
The 25-year-old netted 20 times in 35 league appearances for the club last term.

Etxeberria insisted that it is important for his side to stop the striker if they are to get anything from the game.
“Umar is a first-rate centre-forward,” Etxeberria told a press conference on Friday.
“With good defensive mechanisms, we will be more reliable, and apart from that, we have to keep our vigilance to the maximum.”

He needs to prove it in Super Eagles shirt.
He is not a first rate centre forward at all point of very serious correction
He is. He showed that against Tunisia. I believe if he had started that game togtjet with iwobi or Ariball has no 10.Niheria would have defeated Tunisia hands down. We lost that game due to Egu been new and not knowing how to use the players

SADIQ KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING, MOST PEOPLE WANT YOU TO BE A BULLDOZER KIND OF STRIKER BUT WHAT THEY FAIL TO REALIZE IS YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A BULLDOZER KIND OF PLAYER TO SCORE GOALS, YOU CAN ALSO SCORE GOALS WITH SKILL, INTELLIGENCE AND TACT.
I CANT WAIT FOR THE SEASON TO BE OVER AND YOUR TEAM MAKES IT TO THE SPANISH PREMIER LEAGUE WERE YOU WILL EITHER PLAY FOR A MORE DESERVING TEAM OR REMAIN WITH YOUR CURRENT TEAM.
THE GOALS WILL KEEP POURING IN FOR YOU. AND WITH TIME, THE GOALS WILL ALSO FALL IN FOR YOU IN THE SUPER EAGLES AS WELL AS LONG AS YOUR GIVEN AS MUCH TIME TO SETTLE AS EVERY OTHER STRIKER IN THE TEAM AND ALSO GIVEN AS MUCH CHANCES AS EVERY OTHER PLAYER IN THE TEAM. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
