Qatari Stars League outfit Umm Salal SC is now in the race to secure the services of former Arsenal youth player Tim Akinola. Akinola made the decision to part ways with Arsenal last summer, terminating his contract a year before its conclusion. Since joining Al Bidda SC, he has showcased impressive form, featuring in every game the club has contested, totaling ten appearances.
Akinola's standout performances have attracted interest from an undisclosed Saudi Arabian club, currently engaged in talks with Qatari counterparts regarding a potential transfer. Despite the Saudi interest, the defensive midfielder reportedly prefers to stay in Qatar and aims for a move to Umm Salal SC during the January transfer window.
In his competitive debut for Al Bidda SC, Akinola delivered a stellar performance, earning the man-of-the-match accolade while contributing two goals to secure a comprehensive victory over Al Ahli SC in the QFA Cup. His contract with Al Bidda SC remains valid until the conclusion of the 2025-2026 season.
