Young Nigerian footballer who started on the streets travels abroad to fulfil his dreams

A young Nigerian identified as Saheed Faruk, has traveled to Abu Dhabi to possibly join a football club after years of showing his talent on the streets.

The boy who’s been aspiring to be a professional footballer finally got his wish granted when he was invited to UAE by a club interested in him.

Saheed took to TikTok and shared a video-reel of pictures which captured his growth and progress, in a bid to highlight how far he’s come.

The beginning part of the images showed him when he was playing amateur football on the streets of Nigeria with friends up until the moment he left the country to pursue his dreams in Abu Dhabi.

New images also captured Saheed looking fresher after he landed in UAE and settled into the Arabian nation.

In the video-reel, the footballer could also be seen in the facility of Al Jazira Club, an Emirati professional football club based in Abu Dhabi. It is, however, not clear if he traveled for trials or if his signing has been finalized.
