Super Eagles striker Sadiq Umar is among the list of nominees for the March edition of the La Liga Player and Goal of the Month Awards.
The 28-year-old striker has been impressive for Valencia since he arrived on loan from Real Sociedad in the January transfer window.
Sadiq Umar is in contention to win the Player of the Month after scoring three goals in three La Liga matches for Los Che.
Umar scored twice in the three-all draw away at Osassuna and once in the 2-1 victory over Villadolidat the Mestalla.
The Valencia Striker will contend with Real Madrid’s superstar striker and 2018 World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe, Real Betis’ Isco Alarcon, Atletico Madrid’s Marcos Alonso and Rayo Vellacano’s Pedro Diaz.
Sadiq Umar’s sleeky back-heel goal in the three-all draw at Osassuna is also in the running for the best goal of the month.
His recent performance at Valencia has earned Sadiq Umar a return to the Super Eagles as they prepare for the World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
