Nigeria and Almeria forward Umar Sadiq is on the verge of joining the German side, Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth £30M.
The German side sold their main striker Erling Haaland to Manchester City this summer and would be replacing him with the lanky Nigerian forward.
Meanwhile, Dortmund has already employed the services of Sebastian Haller but has been ruled out for six months due to an injury diagnosed as a testicular tumor.
The former European champions have identified Sadiq as the perfect replacement for the Cameroon striker.
Dortmund has reportedly agreed on a deal for Sadiq and will pay as much as €30 million including add-ons.
The 25-year-old scored 18 goals and recorded 12 assists in 36 league appearances to help Almeria secure promotion to LaLiga last season.
He has been linked with the likes of Benfica, Villarreal, Sevilla, and Valencia this season.
Umar Sadiq Mesbah is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for the Spanish club UD Almería and the Nigeria national team. Sadiq formerly represented the Nigeria national under-23 team and was an important member of the squad that won a bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics
