Umar Sadiq: The Nigerian striker leading Almeria’s promotion push
UD Almeria haven’t been in Spain’s top division since the 2014/15 season, but the club from the sourthern city of the same name are serious contenders for promotion in 2020/21.
Umar Sadiq, their towering 24-year-old Nigerian forward, is perhaps the most important factor in their push, and with 11 Segunda goals this season has propelled the club into third place in the LaLiga SmartBank.
Sadiq’s presence in Almeria is down to the sporting project laid out by Turki Al-Sheikh, who took over the club in 2019.
