The Athletic on Sadiki:

Sunderland have agreed a deal worth €20.5million (£17.75m) to sign midfielder Noah Sadiki from Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise.

The agreement is worth a guaranteed €17m, with potentially a further €3.5m in bonus payments.

Sadiki, 20, is a Congo international who joined RUSG in 2023 from Anderlecht. He won the Belgian Cup in 2024 and was part of the RUSG side which won the Belgian Pro League for the first time in 90 years in 2025, also being named in the division’s team of the year.

He made over 50 appearances for his club last season, including starting all 10 of RUSG’s Europa League fixtures as they were beaten by Ajax in the play-offs in February.

‘A coup of a signing’
Analysis by Seb Stafford-Bloor

DR Congo midfielder Sadiki joined Union Saint-Gilloise (RUSG) in 2023, for a cut-price €1.3million (£1.1m; $1.5m at current rates) from fellow Belgians Anderlecht.

His growth since then has been remarkable — last season, he was one of the tenets of RUSG’s first league title win in 90 years and was deservedly named in the division’s team of the year.

As a way of describing him, it’s difficult to find a direct comparison — his balance of skills is unusual. He’s a sturdy, dependable ball-winner, but an artisan in possession with a cultured passing range.

He’s one of those No 8s without a fixed label, whose different attributes become more prominent depending on how relevant they are within a specific part of a game.

It’s a coup of a signing for a newly-promoted team.

 

The rule of thumb for fish paste is if it’s good news he’s considered a good source but if it’s bad news he’s considered a bad source
