Ishaq Abdulrazak has completed another loan move, this time to Swedish side IFK Värnamo, marking his third consecutive temporary transfer since joining Anderlecht in 2022.
The 21-year-old Nigerian winger, who has struggled to make a lasting impact at his parent club, will look to reignite his career in Sweden’s Allsvenskan after a challenging period in Belgium and Norway.
Abdulrazak, who previously played for Norrköping in Sweden before his €3 million move to Anderlecht, has made just six appearances for the Belgian club.
His time in Belgium has been less than fruitful, prompting a series of loan moves in an attempt to regain his form.
After a failed stint at Norwegian club Odd BK last season, where he was unable to secure a regular place in the team, Anderlecht have now decided to send him back to Sweden.
The young winger, whose contract with Anderlecht runs until 2026, finds himself increasingly distanced from the club’s future plans.
His market value has taken a significant hit, dropping from €3 million at the time of his transfer in 2022 to just €600,000 today.
With his future uncertain, Abdulrazak faces a critical period in Sweden to prove himself and turn his career around.
IFK Värnamo presents a fresh opportunity for Abdulrazak, a chance to regain his confidence and show the potential that once saw him highly regarded in Swedish football.
However, if the winger fails to make an impact, Anderlecht may opt to sell him or even terminate his contract, marking a disappointing chapter in the young player’s career.
At just 21, Abdulrazak still has time to rebuild his career, but this loan spell could prove pivotal in determining his long-term future in European football.
The pressure is on the Nigerian talent to demonstrate that he can live up to the expectations placed on him when Anderlecht initially invested in his potential.
