Sadiq, best player of January

Umar Sadiq is the soccer player of the moment in the Second Division. The Almería striker monopolizes the spotlight game after game and not It is surprising that in summer he makes the bank jump with a transfer that exceeds even that of Darwin Núñez (24 million euros). In relation to the Uruguayan, the Nigerian is on the way to surpassing his scoring record last year (he has five to go to match the Uruguayan's 16). His fantastic month of January has made LaLiga choose him as the best footballer of the month in the silver category of Spanish football. The '9' has surpassed Sergio Ruiz, Las Palmas midfielder, and Bernardo Espinosa, Girona defender.

The former partisan of Belgrade has been unleashed with the beginning of the year, materializing half a dozen goals in the first month of the year, which he opened in style with a triplet against Ponferradina, something he had never done before as a professional. The good moment ratified it against Sabadell, making another. He also wet against Castellón, in addition to that great assistance to José Corpas, who, with nine goals, is another of José Gomes' main assets.

Sadiq, who Sevilla asked about in the market that expired last Monday, will return tomorrow (8:30 pm) at eleven at Fernando Torres. The African striker did not start against Sevilla to avoid a possible sanction and tomorrow will be the game again in the eleven of José Gomes, seeking against Fuenlabrada to prolong his particular streak: of his last eight league games he only missed a goal against Espanyol, scoring a dozen goals in that space of time.

Those numbers have catapulted him to fight for the top scorer in the Second Division along with two other beasts, the case of Raúl de Tomás and Uros Djurdjevic., something that seemed almost impossible at the beginning of the season, when the '9' of the UDA did not start on the right foot in the Almeria discipline. The Madrilenian has thirteen goals, twelve for the Serbian (he left Partizan before the Nigerian landed in Belgrade) and eleven for Sadiq, having scored the first three from penalties, for one of each of the rojiblancos. Of course, Almería has one less game (they have to recover the postponed in Leganés).
