Striker, Umar Sadiq, has revealed that his deadline day move from Almeria to Real Sociedad was a step forward in his career, Saturday PUNCH reports. The 25-year-old, who was linked with moves to Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and Villarreal, joined Real Sociedad for a reported €16.2m from Spanish La Liga rivals Almeria in a six-year deal. The Nigeria international replaced Alexander Isak in Sociedad’s attack after the Swedish striker joined Newcastle United for a club-record £60m fee last week. “I chose Real Sociedad because it is one of the most important teams in Spain and it is a step forward for me,” Sadiq said. He is expected to make his debut when Sociedad host Atletico Madrid at the Reale Arena on Saturday (today).
