Umar Sadiq left Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers last month.
Rangers have made their fair share of dreadful signings in recent years.
Pedro Caixinha is responsible for quite a few, with the Portuguese manager signing the likes of Eduardo Herrera, Carlos Pena and Dalcio during his time at Ibrox.
But current Rangers boss Steven Gerrard also has a number of blots on his copybook in that regard – and none more so than Umar Sadiq.
Gerrard signed the Nigerian striker on a season-long loan from Roma last summer, but the agreement was terminated last month after Sadiq failed miserably in Glasgow.
The 22-year-old only started one game for the Gers and left without scoring in any of his three appearances across all competitions.
But he has finally found the net since leaving Scotland.
Sadiq, now on loan at Italian second-tier side Perugia, opened the scoring in a 3-2 win away to Venezia on Wednesday night – his first competitive goal since April, when he scored for loan side NAC Breda.
Prior to that, Sadiq hadn’t scored in any of his five games for the Serie B outfit.
Rangers replaced him with Jermain Defoe, who has four goals in as many starts for Gerrard’s troops since joining.
