UAE Pro League champions Al Wasl have officially announced the signing of Nigerian international striker Isaac Success. The former Udinese forward, who was released by the Italian Serie A club just before the end of the summer transfer window, has joined Al Wasl on a free transfer.
Success brings extensive experience in European football, having played for Udinese in Italy, as well as Granada FC, Málaga FC in Spain, and Watford in England. Al Wasl is currently competing in the Pro League, the President’s Cup, and the AFC Champions League.
The Nigerian forward has been inactive since May 19, 2024, after a brief seven-minute appearance in Udinese’s 1-1 draw against Empoli. His move to Al Wasl offers him a fresh start and a chance to regain form with the UAE champions.
Editorial
Isaac Success’s move to Al Wasl offers him a unique opportunity to reignite his career after a challenging spell at Udinese. Known for his early promise and performances on the international stage, Success’s transition to the UAE Pro League could be just the environment he needs to rediscover his best form.
Success, who won the Golden Boot at the 2013 Africa U17 Cup of Nations, had been a free agent, allowing the deal to go through despite the UAE transfer window being closed. Before finalizing the move, Success had also attracted interest from a club in Qatar. However, he ultimately agreed to terms with Al Wasl, although the financial details and length of the contract remain undisclosed.
We believe this transfer could mark a turning point for the Nigerian striker, allowing him to not only play regularly but also to contribute to a team that is competing in multiple competitions, including the AFC Champions League. Success’s rich experience from Europe will likely be valuable to Al Wasl, and his signing shows the club’s ambition to strengthen its squad.
As Nigerian football fans, we are excited to see how Success will adapt to this new chapter of his career. His experience in top European leagues, combined with his natural talent, could make him a key player for Al Wasl. With consistent game time and the right support, there’s every chance he could return to his best.
