The news fans want hear is Sadiq has moved big club. We are tired of all these speculations. Good luck to Umar.
This move will HELP him seriously
This one set up for this,that one setup for that when will the move become reality.
I recommend Sadiq to join Villarreal because this club has a quality and veteran coach who has championship mentality which he will introject it in Sadiq mind, then Sadiq will have this soul so he will benefit himself and Super Eagles.Coach Emery has won tow Europa league with Seville afterwards with this mentioned club Villarreal.
