Musa Malik linked with Zulte Waregem move from Ikorodu City

Musa Malik, a 17-year-old Nigerian left winger with Ikorodu City, is the subject of a reported move to Belgian club Zulte Waregem.

Malik currently plays for Ikorodu City in Nigeria’s Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL), while Zulte Waregem compete in Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League. The reported switch would therefore see the teenager move from Nigerian domestic football to the Belgian top flight.

The transfer rumour was recorded on 5 August 2026, with Malik’s current market value listed at €75,000. No transfer fee or agreement has been reported, and the move remains unconfirmed.

Malik’s profile identifies him as a left winger and places him among the youngest players linked with a move to Zulte Waregem. His age is the only player-development detail attached to the rumour, with no senior statistics, international appearances or previous transfer history included.

His contractual position is also relevant: his agreement with Ikorodu City is listed as expiring on 30 June 2026. That date has passed at the time of the reported link, although the status of any renewal or replacement contract has not been established.

For now, the reported connection between Malik and Zulte Waregem remains a transfer rumour, with the player listed as an Ikorodu City player and no confirmed announcement from either club.
