This is now official. Dutch Eredivisie side NAC Breda on Saturday morning announced the signing of Nigeria U23 international Umar Sadiq.

The AS Roma frontman will remain on loan at NAC Breda until the end of this season, with option to extend the deal for a period of one year.

''In this winter transfer period, we wanted to add scoring power and increase the competition in the front, which was very successful with the arrival of Umar and Mitchell,'' Technical Director Hans Smulders told NAC Breda's official website.

''Sadiq is a very talented player who has already made minutes in a top competition.

''In his search for more playing time, he now has to compete with the other strikers in our team, we rent him for half a year, but have expressed the intention to extend this in the summer until mid-2019. ''

The 20-year-old was Nigeria's joint-top scorer at the Olympic Games with four goals to his name.
