It was just a matter of time before this Kaduna-born striker left the backwaters of Serbian football back to mainstream Europe – this time to Spain, where he has continued to find the back of the net regularly.
Partizan Belgrade loss has turned out to be UD Almeria gain as the former AS Roma wasted no time in getting into the scoring groove, netting six times thus far to advance their promotion drive to the Spanish top flight.
The 2016 Rio Olympics bronze medalist opened his 2020 goals’ account from the spot in Partizan’s 4-1 thrashing of Mladost Lucani on May 30 to finish his Partizan stint on a high, scoring overall seven goals in 2020 before his Almeria switch.
It was a big gamble to move to Segunda Division, but should Almeria return to La Liga as widely expected, it would have been a massive step up for Sadiq, who has been previously linked with some of the biggest clubs across Europe.
He has buried six goals thus far for Almeria to finish the year 2020 with 13 goals to become one of the hottest strikers out of Nigeria this past year.
He made a total of 18 appearances in 2020 to underline his consistency.
