On loan Roma forward Sadiq Umar who has taken the Dutch Eredivisie by storm this season has refused to confirm or deny report about interest in his services from English Premier League side Chelsea.
Sadiq who has three goals in five games for NAC Breda since his move to the team on loan from Roma, after terminating his loan with Torino where he spent the first half of the season is reportedly high on the priority list of Chelsea.
According to Kickoff.co.uk Chelsea have sounded out the 21 year old Nigerian after his strong showing against Feyenoord. A game scouts from the team came to watch due to their interest in a player of Feyenoord according to reports gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com.
However the Nigeria did enough to win their admiration with his all round style, plus his giant frame which makes him a handful for defenders, a size which will could aid his adaptation to the Premier League.
Owngoalnigeria.com sort to hear from the forward who is managed by UK based Stellar group of companies but he directed us to his agency, insisting he can’t comment on the issue as he is fully focused on helping Breda end the season well.
” I prefer you ask my agent “, he said in response to our question on if he is aware of Chelsea’s interest in his services in the summer after his loan deal expires with NAC Breda.
” My focus right now is to do well at NAC Breda, the whole idea is helping them finish very high up the table. In the summer we will see what will happen. I like Holland a lot but you know I’m owned by an Italian team”, he concluded.
