Not Tolu Arokodare: Fulham open transfer talks with Super Eagles striker

Three-time EFL Championship winners, Fulham, have opened talks with Real Sociedad and Super Eagles forward Sadiq Umar, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 28-year-old joined Txuri-Urdin from UD Almeria in 2022 for a fee of €18m but has struggled to justify the price tag.

A cruciate ligament injury marred his first season in San Sebastian, and he has never become a central figure in attack for Sociedad since then.

In a bid to revive his career, the Nigerian forward joined a relegation-threatened Valencia side on a six-month loan and scored six goals in his time there.

However, Carlos Corberan's side opted against activating the €10m buy clause in the deal, meaning Sadiq returned to Sociedad.

A move is on the cards again this summer, and the former Rangers man isn't opposed to the move as a place in Eric Chelle's AFCON 2025 squad is up for grabs.

Should Sadiq join Fulham?

As per Africa Foot, Marco Silva's side have opened talks with Real Sociedad over a potential move for the out-of-favour forward.

The club's sporting director, Tony Khan, reportedly contacted the Sociedad hierarchy to inquire about Sadiq's situation, while tabling a four-year contract proposal for the Nigerian international.

It is believed that the La Liga side will ask for €10m to let the former Roma man head to Craven Cottage.

Sociedad's Sporting Director, Jokin Aperribay, made it clear that his side aren't averse to allowing Sadiq leave if that's what he desires.

Fulham have already parted ways with Willian, Reiss-Nelson and Carlos Vinicius this summer, and need fresh attackers.

It is also believed that one of Rodrigo Muniz or Raul Jimenez will be leaving the club before the end of the transfer window.

That assures Sadiq of regular playing time, while the addition of another Nigerian to the Fulham squad will liven the club's dressing room since Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey have made that role theirs.
