Major Rangers flop Umar Sadiq in line for sensational transfer with Dortmund ‘willing to offer’ £25 million for striker
UMAR SADIQ'S brief loan spell at Rangers was nothing short of a disaster.
Four years on, he could be on the verge of a bumper move to one of European football's biggest clubs, according to reports.
Sadiq joined Rangers on loan from Roma for the 2018/19 season, but the year-long agreement was terminated after just five months.
He made just four appearances in Scottish football and failed to score a goal.
The Nigeria international's only real impact during his time in Glasgow was taking a dive in a Scottish Cup semi final defeat to Aberdeen in what was his only start for the club.
Fast forward four years, and Sadiq is a hot commodity in the game.

Their top scorer in the last two seasons, he's bagged 41 goals in 81 games.
The 25-year old was a key man as Almeria secured promotion back to La Liga last season.
His goal scoring form has led him to be linked with several of European football's top clubs this summer.
