Sodiq was one of the standout performers in the NPFL last season.

“It’s really sad how all these agents ship out our young stars to start their careers. Are they really thinking of the future of the players?,” Ideye wrote on X.

“It’s better to start in a second division club in France, Spain or Germany where you can easily be seen by other top clubs.”
