GoodNews and of course the kind of move we expect SE players to make. May it come to fruition in Jesus name.
Villareal needs a point man in the mold of Benzema or Levendosky. Someone who can draw the attention of defenders to himself to either open spaces for others to score or unsettle the defense lines to do the damage himself.
This is the only missing link in the team all through last season and their challenges in Europe competitions.
Sadiq should be able to fit in well but does Villareal have the foresight to bet on his prospects? Do they have the money to invest? It will be a good buy because I’m yet to hear that Sadiq sat out any match due to injury concerns and looking at all the current forward line of Villareal, I do not see anyone taller than Sadiq.
They also need a player with a commanding presence in their defensive line. A charismatic defender who will take all the punches thrown at them. A last man before the last man (goalie).
