By Muzammil Dalha Yola 

Shoban Almraghah Sports Club Egypt has announced the signing of Nigerian striker Abubakar Umar, popularly known as "D' Goal Machine", from Depros FC Lagos. The highly-rated forward joins the Egyptian third-division side on a lucrative deal.

Abubakar Umar's impressive stats with Depros FC Lagos caught the attention of Shoban Almraghah's scouting team. Last season, he scored 15 goals and provided 6 assists in 17 games, showcasing his clinical finishing and creativity.

Born in Kano and former Zoo United player, Abubakar idolizes former Nigerian striker Rashidi Yekini, known for his powerful shooting and accuracy. Drawing parallels with his idol, Abubakar possesses similar qualities, making him an exciting addition to Shoban Almraghah's attack.

"I'm thrilled to join Shoban Almraghah Sports Club Egypt," Abubakar said. "This opportunity will help me grow as a player and elevate my career. I'm committed to working hard and contributing to the team's success."

"I'm grateful for this opportunity and eager to make an impact. I'll work tirelessly to help the team achieve its goals and advance in the Egyptian football hierarchy" said Abubakar.

Shoban Almraghah's Coach, Ala Abdulminal, praised Abubakar's signing, saying, "We're delighted to have Abubakar on board. His goal-scoring ability and creativity will undoubtedly strengthen our attack."

With Abubakar Umar on board, Shoban Almraghah aims to secure promotion to the Egyptian second division and eventually the top-tier Egyptian Premier League.

Will Abubakar's goal-scoring prowess propel Shoban Almraghah to success? Only time will tell.
