Club career
In 2021, Abdullahi went on trial with French side Olympique de Marseille and German side Borussia Dortmund, with Belgian side Gent also showing interest.[1] He went on to sign for the latter, despite interest from a number of other clubs across Europe.[2][3]
On 30 August 2024, Abdullahi signed a four-year contract with Sunderland.[4]
International career
Abdullahi was called up to the Nigerian under-20 side for the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.[5] He had to forego his salary for a month at club side Gent to play in the tournament, as the Belgian club did not view the under-20 competition as important enough to miss training sessions for.[6] He received a red card in the first game against Senegal; a second yellow for dangerous play.[6]
