Every week, OneFootball introduces you to the new gems of world football. Today, we're presenting a very promising midfielder!

Another young talent from the Belgian championship who could very well spice up the next summer transfer window.

For the second consecutive season, Noah Sadiki has established himself as an irreplaceable starter for Union Saint-Gilloise.

Despite his young age (20 years), he participated in 34 Jupiler Pro League matches in 2024/2025.

But who is this tireless midfielder who is expected to quickly reach a new level in his career?

Noah Sadiki was born on December 17, 2004, in Brussels. He grew up there, and it was only natural that he honed his skills at Anderlecht. He joined the club at the age of 6 and stayed until he turned professional.

On May 22, 2022, it was none other than Vincent Kompany who gave him his first start in the first team.

Used to fast-tracking, Sadiki was directly thrown into a playoff match against Club Bruges. He played the entire match.

The rest of his adventure with the Mauves is more mixed, partly due to certain "controversies" stirred up by his entourage.

It didn't take much for USG to seize the opportunity to recruit him. Sadiki signed a 4-year contract with the rival club, which inevitably stirred things up.

Nevertheless, this particular context did not prevent him from thriving very quickly. In his first season, he played 37 league matches.

Very mobile, the defensive midfielder impresses with his ability to consistently put in effort and recover a lot of balls in the midfield.

His first full season did not go unnoticed. Sadiki was actually very close to signing with Olympique Lyonnais during the summer of 2024.

Already in agreement with the Gones, he was ultimately retained by his club, which considers him indispensable.

This time, he is expected to leave his home country. Valued at 10 million euros, the Congolese international is likely to be given the green light to move.

An opportunity to seize for a Ligue 1 club?
