Zulte Waregem consider move for Nigerian teenager Musa Malik

Nigerian winger Musa Malik, 17, is being linked with a move from Ikorodu City to Belgian club Zulte Waregem.

Malik plays for Ikorodu City in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL), while Zulte Waregem compete in Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League. The reported move would see the teenager leave Nigerian domestic football for a club operating in one of Europe’s established professional leagues.

Malik’s position is listed as left winger, and his current market value is €75,000. He remains registered with Ikorodu City in the latest details surrounding the rumour, with no confirmation that an agreement has been reached between the clubs or with the player.

The teenager’s listed contract with Ikorodu City expired on 30 June 2026, a detail that could be relevant to the status of any potential move. However, the available information does not establish whether Malik has formally left the Nigerian club or whether Zulte Waregem have made an official offer.

The link with Zulte Waregem comes as Belgian clubs continue to provide a route into European football for young players from outside the continent. For Malik, the reported interest would represent a possible move from the NPFL to the Jupiler Pro League at the age of 17.

Malik’s current status remains tied to Ikorodu City in the latest player information, while the proposed switch to Zulte Waregem is still only a rumour.
