Real Sociedad are pushing to sign Umar Sadiq from Almería.

Megasportsarena.com understands that talks are in progress and the suitors are hopeful to get it done before the transfer window shuts on Thursday.

Sadiq was touted to move to Villarreal but the deal collapsed.

Umar Sadiq has already scored two goals for Almeria and one assist after three Liga games for Almeria this season.

The lanky Nigerian forward is the main option being considered to replace Alexander Isak who moved to Premier League side Newcastle United.
