Famalicão paid €800,000 to secure his services from Nigerian academy, Footwork FC.

The 19-year-old spent last season on loan at Belgian second division club, Jong Gent, where he scored 21 goals in 27 matches.

Abubakar had offers from other clubs in Europe but decided to pitch his tent with
Famalicão.
