Almeria striker Sadiq Umar says he has qualities that the senior national team of Nigeria need as they build up to the 2022 AFCON qualifiers games next month.
Nigeria will take on Benin Republic in Cotonou before squaring up against Lesotho three days later in Nigeria looking for a point to book their spot at the Cup of Nations.
Sadiq whose name has been severally mentioned by coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr says he is keen on bringing his club form to the senior national team of Nigeria if called up
for the games.
“ It starts with a chance to show what I can do for the team. I have played for the U23s of Nigeria and finished as highest goal scorer at the Olympics in Rio. I have what will make the difference in attack”, he told Mowiz.
This season Sadiq has scored a total of 21 goals from 40 games with 13 in the Spanish second division, 2 in the Copa Del Rey and 6 for Partizan Belgrade in Serbia before his move to Spain on summer transfer deadline day.

“ Goal scoring is what I am paid to do and that’s what I practice in training and execute in games. My aim is to help the team achieve their ambitions which for now is to gain promotion to the La Liga”.
