Spanish Club Real Sociedad Announce Signing of Super Eagles Forward Umar Sadiq

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Spanish La Liga side Real Sociedad have announced the signing of Super Eagles striker Umar Sadiq on a four-year deal.

Sociedad became interested in the Nigerian international after Alexander Isaq left the club to join English Premier League side Newcastle United for a club-record fee of €70m.

Real Sociedad took to their social media accounts to announce the signing of the former AS Roma of Italy forward.

Sadiq’s future had been uncertain as quite a number of European clubs jostled for his signature following his impressive performances for Almeria last season.

He scored 40 league goals for Almeria in two years, helping them secure La Liga promotion in the last campaign.
