Scottish premiership side Dundee United have officially unveiled the signing of Ugandan striker Sadat Anaku Happy from KCCA FC.
Anaku who joins Dundee from the Lugogo based side has inked a two years deal which will see him at the Scottish side till 2024 despite being subject to a work permit and international clearances.
Sadat Anaku who netted a couple of 22 goals from 67 appearances at KCCA FC impressed the head coach of Dundee United Jack Ross during his trials with the club.
“I’ve been really impressed with Sadat since he came in. You have to have a certain mental toughness to come in from overseas and settle.”
“Sadat has done that by leaving a really good impression on the players and staff at United. He has a real hunger and drive to try and succeed in European football and sees this as a real opportunity to do that.”
“He’s a really good finisher and will offer something different to the attacking options we already have at the club. That gives the squad a good balance. There’s an element of the unknown about him but we can see he has real potential.”
“That element of unknown can help us. Defenders won’t know what he’s about and he’s not easy to play against from what I’ve seen in training. Hopefully he can capitalise on that element of surprise and get off to a good start. If he can hit the ground running and score quickly then things can fly from there.”
Dundee United head coach Jack Ross had much to say about the lethal striker who has been handed the number 20 shirt with the first team after impressing just days back when he netted a hat trick in a match with the U23 team.
He joins a fellow Ugandan in the Scottish League Bevis Mugabi who features for Motherwell FC and also Enock Walusimbi is yet to be unveiled at Dundee having impressed in the trials.
