Umar Sadiq’s future is still undecided after Sevilla pulled out of the race to sign the former Rangers star. Sadiq had an exceptional season last campaign, the Sevilla are not ready to pay Almeria’s asking price. 

Nigeria-eligible German youngster Lucas Nmecha has completed an £11m move to German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg. 

Nmecha spent last season on loan at Anderlecht, who were also interested in signing him, but could not afford to sign him permanently.

In another transfer news, forgotten Super Eagles star Isaac Success is set to join Serie A side Udinese on a loan deal from Watford. 

The Nigerian international was previously a youth player with The White and Blacks. The deal between the two parties should not come as a surprise as they are both owned by the Pozzo family.

Meanwhile, Salernitana, another Serie A side, are interested in Simy Nwankwo and Joel Obi as they get set to play in the top-flight after 23 years.
