Abdul Zubairu (born 3 October 1998) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as midfielder for Slovak Niké liga club Zemplín Michalovce.[2]

Career

Zubairu made his Fortuna Liga debut for AS Trenčín against Slovan Bratislava on 25 February 2016.[3]

He played with AS Trenčín 7 consecutive seasons in the Slovak top tier, and, in summer 2022 he moved south to the region of former-Yugoslavia and joined a Bosnian well-established top-tier side HŠK Zrinjski. However, his stay was short, since, immediately in the following winter-break, he moved to Serbia to reinforce FK Kolubara which was having difficulties in their first ever season at top level.[2]

Style of play

A dynamic and diminutive player, standing at just 1.65 m, Zubairu is known for his energy and ball-winning abilities as a box-to-box midfielder in the centre of the pitch.[1] He is also capable as a playmaker, and has been likened to N'Golo Kanté.[4]
