The summer 2025 transfer window is heating up with the imminent move of Umar Sadiq, Nigerian international striker from Real Sociedad, to Fulham in the Premier League for an estimated £8.5M. Under contract with the Spanish club until 2028, Sadiq is no longer in Sociedad’s plans for the coming season, opening the door for a fresh start in England.
Fulham’s management has already contacted Real Sociedad, and the West London side is ready to offer the player a four-year deal, granting Sadiq stability and an opportunity to revive his career in England’s top flight. This transfer is a statement from Fulham, keen to boost their attacking options following key departures this summer.
Last season, Umar Sadiq appeared in 30 matches for Sociedad and Valencia (on loan), scoring six goals. Known for his physical strength, aerial ability, and skill in troubling defenses, Sadiq brings valuable depth and impact to Fulham’s forward line. Despite injuries affecting his time in Spain, his profile continues to attract interest from clubs looking for solutions up front.
For Sadiq, joining Fulham means reuniting with fellow Nigerians Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey, which will likely ease his adaptation. The signing signals Fulham’s renewed ambition to solidify their status in the Premier League and invest wisely in African talent. Expect the deal to be finalized in the coming days, confirming the excitement of the summer transfer window and the Premier League’s enduring appeal for standout African players.
