Chelsea, Leicester, Celtic, Porto & Club Brugge Target Ibrahim Said Reveals His Dream Destination

Nigeria U17 international Ibrahim Said has revealed his dream destination amid interest from clubs based in England, Scotland, Portugal and Belgium.

The Dabo Babes attacking midfielder was Nigeria's top scorer at the 2019 FIFA U17 World Cup, scoring 3 goals in 4 appearances before the Golden Eaglets exited the tournament in Brazil.

Leicester City have been credited with an interest in signing Said alongside Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Glasgow Celtic, Benfica, Porto and Club Brugge.

"My dream destination is England, I like the Premier League, I want a new challenge in the English Premier League. I think I can be successful in England if I am given a chance," Said told allnigeriasoccer.com on Tuesday evening.

''The performance of Wilfred Ndidi at Leicester City has motivated me, I like his playing style. I like the way he tackles and recovers the ball from opponents using his strength."

Capable of playing several roles on the pitch, Said has versatility to boot and has cited Chelsea-owned winger Victor Moses and former Leicester City star Ahmed Musa as his role models.

"I can play any position on the pitch apart from goalkeeper and top striker. At the World Cup, I played as an attacking midfielder, left winger and right winger.

"I like all Nigerian players but I would say I look up to Ahmed Musa and Victor Moses the most. I have some of the qualities they possess - they are speedy players," Said concluded.

Ahead of a possible trip to the United Kingdom in January 2020 to discuss with interested clubs, Said is undergoing individual training in Kano.
