This is impressive from Sodiq Umar. He is seriously banging on the doors of the Super Eagles and I believe it’s time he got invited to strut his stuff at the senior level of international football.
He is no doubt a good striker and he was Nigeria’s top scorer at the 2016 Olympics. At this rate and if his imperious form is brought into the Super Eagles, he will come good.
Congratulations Sadiq! Keep the fire burning so fiercely!
Sportsfan your boy is living it up ‘!!
Umar have prove itself in nigeria color at last Olympics with Mikrl obi as a captain but NFF always impose players on coaches
I WILL CONTINUE TO SAY IT YOUR THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN PRESENT A GOOD CHALLENGE TO VICTOR OSIMHEN IN THE SUPER EAGLES STRIKERS ROLE.
THE OTHER STRIKERS ARE MORE GOAL POACHERS BUT YOU ARE AN ALL ROUND ATTACKER WHO CREATES AND SCORES GOALS WHILE WINNING ALOT OF PENALTIES IN THE PROCESS. YOUR ALSO FAST AND SKILLFUL.
I JUST HOPE THE SUPER EAGLES COACH WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO SHOW WHAT YOU CAN DO.
Its 6 goals, 2 assists and 4 penalties won in 16 games. Meaning he has contributed to 12 goals. If im not mistaken. He is on fire!
