In-form Ghanaian winger, Ibrahim Sadiq has joined former Dutch Eredivisie champions AZ Alkmaar in the summer transfer window.
The 23-year-old signed a five-year deal to join the Dutch giants from Swedish champions BK Hacken on deadline day.
Hours before putting pen to paper, Sadiq had scored a brace for BK Hacken against Aberdeen to secure them a place in the group stage of the Europa League.
AZ confirmed the signing of the Ghana youth international on Friday, with the winger set to begin his career in the Netherlands after joining his new teammates.
"Ibrahim Sadiq can officially call himself an AZ player. The Ghanaian attacker comes over from BK Häcken and signs a contract in Alkmaar until mid-2028. Sadiq was born 23 years ago in Accra, Ghana. Via the Right to Dream Academy, the attacker ended up at FC Nordsjælland from Denmark in the summer of 2018," wrote the club on their official website.

According to the Right to Dream Academy graduate, the move to AZ Alkmaar is a dream come true.
"It's a great stadium. These are stadiums you want to play in. It's like a dream come true for me. AZ really wanted me. That also gives a good feeling," he said.
The former Black Starlets winger started his career in Europe at FC Nordsjaelland in 2018 before moving to Hacken in 2022, as reported by Transfermarkt.
