Italian Serie A Club AS
Roma has agreed a three-year professional contract for Nigeria youngsters Sadiq Umar and Nura Abdullahi, according to Tidesports source.
“Sadiq and Nura have both agreed a three-year contract with Roma. It will be signed in June,” disclosed a top official of the younsters’ Nigeria academy, Abuja Football College.
Both players have been on loan from Italian Serie B outfit Spezia.
Stroller Umar, 19, has made six appearances from the Rome club this season in the league and scored two goals.
His first-team chances have dried up though since the return of coach Luciano Spelletti in January.
However, the Kaduna-born Umar has also been scoring goals for fun for the Roma youth team amid rumours he is wanted by some of Europ’s top guns.
Eighteen-year-old right fullback Abdullahi, on the other hand, has yet to make this Serie A Debut, but he is highly rated by Roma.
