Reports from Spain by Marca reveal that the prolific striker has been on the radar of Sevilla though the asking price of about £22m by Almeria is considered too high to attempt the deal.

Other clubs that have also signified interest in the 25-year-old player are Dutch champions Ajax, Benfica, Villareal and Valencia.

Marca noted that the former Rangers forward has a good relationship with the influential Sevilla’s sporting director, Monchi, during their time together in Roma.

Meanwhile, a report revealed that the player, whose time at Ibrox was lacklustre, has become a prized asset for top European clubs with Villareal seeking to bring him to Estadio de la Cerámica.

Villarreal’s winger Arnaut Danjuma has been linked with a move to England with West Ham United officially making contact with the Yellow Submarines who desire to bring in Sadiq as his replacement.

This resolve Villareal would make them enter into a bidding war with Sevilla that desire the player, who is capped seven times for the Super Eagles, to boost their attacking line in the season’s campaign.
