Sadiq Umar has been hailed as the MVP of UD Almeria, who won the Spanish Segunda Division and will feature in La Liga next season.
According to Squawka, if there’s an indispensable player for Almeria, that has to be Umar Sadiq, who, for a second consecutive season, led the team in attack.
For many, the best player in Segunda Division in the 2021/22 season was Sadiq, who netted 18 goals and provided nine assists in 36 league games.
Not only did he display his ability to score with both feet (nine with his right foot and six with his left) but he also combined fluently with his teammates.
Truth be told, Almeria’s worst streak actually came while Sadiq was away with Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations, proving just how important he’s been for them.
It will be a challenge for Almeria to keep him next season as they are bound to receive very attractive offers for Sadiq in the months to come, but he’s definitely a player they’ll want to build around for their return to La Liga after a four-year absence.
