Umar Sadiq Eager to Make an Impact at Torino After Move from AS Roma

Torino’s latest acquisition, Nigerian forward Umar Sadiq, is poised to seize the opportunity presented by his move to the Italian club, as he looks to rejuvenate his career. Sadiq, who garnered attention for his stellar performance with the Nigeria U-23s at the 2016 Rio Olympics, clinching a bronze medal, has completed a season-long loan move to Torino from Serie A counterparts AS Roma, with an option for a permanent transfer contingent on his performance.

The 20-year-old expressed his elation at joining Torino, affirming, “I am very happy to be a football player of Torino and I thank the whole club for the confidence they have in me.” Sadiq’s eagerness to make a significant impact is palpable, as he looks forward to this promising chapter in his career.

Following the successful completion of his medical assessment on Wednesday, Sadiq wasted no time in integrating with his new teammates during training. The timing of his arrival aligns perfectly with Torino’s Serie A opener against Bologna, slated for Sunday, setting the stage for Sadiq to potentially make an immediate impression.

Sadiq will join forces with fellow Nigerian midfielder Joel Obi, who is already an established presence at Torino. Their combined prowess on the pitch could prove to be a formidable asset for the club, as they aim to make their mark on the competitive Serie A landscape. With Sadiq’s talent and determination, Torino supporters have reason to anticipate an exciting season ahead.
