Speaking to Owngoalnigeria, Sadiq explains why he chose to move to Perugia.

” Perugia have been interested in me for a while. Although this time around I had offers from teams playing in top division in other European Leagues, I decided to opt for Perugia because I will no doubt get playing time,” Sadiq said.

“It’s my first season ever in the Serie B but I won’t struggle to adapt because I understand the language, the culture and also the style of play in Italy which might not be the case if I decide to move to a team in another league “
