The 23 years old continued by saying he was able to pick up something different from his former club managers except from Rangers coach Steven Gerrard.
“For everywhere I have played, I have picked up something new except at Rangers where I learnt nothing from the coach. That was a very funny phase in my career.” He concluded.

Sadiq Umar has scored the total number of 17 goals and 13 assists for Partizan Belgrade in all competitions this season and he was named among the best players at the group stage of the 2019/2020 Europa league. Sadiq was named in the attack with Glasgow Rangers forward Alfredo Morelos as the best strikers of the competition.
