The 21-year old striker was bang
in form last season during his previous loan spell at Eredivisie strugglers Breda with a very
respectable five goals in 13 appearances for the bottom five team.

It is safe to say the imposing
forward is on the fringes of the Nigerian national side while only failing to
play more for his Italian employers due to the likes of Italian international
Stephan El-Shaarawy and Bosnian counterpart Edin Dzeko in his way.

So this represents a major coup
for Rangers to persuade a genuinely impressive striker to ply his trade in
Govan rather than Holland
again, who reportedly wanted to extend the loan rather than losing the lad.

His current market value is reported
to be around £1.5M but the likelihood for a player of this quality and
potential he’s really worth far more, akin to the ballpark of £5M.

The 6ft 4 colossus has been covered before here on the site – we are big fans of his and he’s done it in
both Italy and Holland, which is frankly
very fine preparation for the SPL. 7 goals in 28 as a bit part player in Serie
A and Breda is
a more than decent return, and Sadiq is clearly ready to explode onto the scene
properly.

Let’s just be glad it’s at Ibrox.
