Ibrahim Said, Nigerian born footballer, arrived into the world on 15 June 2002, making him a relatively spry 23 years of age. Currently, he laces his boots for Motherwell, the well-known Scottish football club, where he flaunts his skill set primarily as a right winger. Said spans a modest 1.73 metres (5ft 8in) when accounting for his football boots, while his weight clocks in at 65 kilograms (10st 3lb), a respectable figure considering the physical rigours of the game.
Said shines in Motherwell's colours wearing the number 90 kit, a rather unorthodox choice that has become a part of his identity on the pitch. His current market value hovers around the £683k mark, converted from Euros at current rates for simplification. This market estimate, brought to our attention by Transfermarkt, puts him at par with several up-and-coming talents in Scottish Premiership.
Said's career trajectory has been steady, if not overly flashy, tracing his roots back to his debut season in 2021 - 2022 at Viborg in Denmark. He impressed enough to earn 19 first team appearances and bagged a goal in his rookie year. A year later, his involvement increased to 31 first team appearances capped off with four goals, followed by another decent run in the 2023 - 2024 season where he made 29 appearances and scored three goals. However, the 2024 -2025 season saw a dip in his appearances down to 14, but details of goals scored are as elusive as a good referee.
His first brush with Scottish football came in the 2025 - 2026 season for Motherwell, where Said has so far made four first team appearances. In the same season, he palpably participated in the League Cup for Motherwell, with one start and two appearances coming off the bench under his belt.
An exciting talent no doubt, only time will tell if Said can etch his name in Motherwell's history while making his mark in Scottish football.
