Club career

Early years

A product of Dabo Babes Academy in Nigeria, Said made a name for himself in football Europe after his good performance at the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

Viborg

Although he had bids from other clubs, among others Club Brugge and İstanbul Başakşehir [1] and according to medias, also by English clubs Liverpool and Manchester City, [2] he ended up in Denmark. 18-year old Said, who was described by Nigerian media as the new Victor Moses, ended up signing a 4-year deal with Danish 1st Division club Viborg FF on 21 October 2021. [3]

After a few games for Viborg's U-19 side, Said got his official debut in the Danish 1st Division on 16 April 2021 against Esbjerg fB. [4] Said started on the bench, before replacing Davit Skhirtladze in the 86th minute. Said made a total of three appearances and scored one goal in that season, helping Viborg with promotion to the Danish Superliga for the 2021-22 season.

Said got his debut in the Danish Superliga against FC Nordsjælland on 18 July 2021. [5]

In August 2022, Said and Viborg teammate Alassana Jatta were unable to travel to England for the club's UEFA Europa Conference League play-off against West Ham United due to English entry rules for non-EU citizens after Brexit. [6]

International career

In 2019, he participated in the U-17 World Cup for Nigeria, where he played all four matches, and made himself especially noticeable when he scored a hat-trick in the team's 3–2 victory over Ecuador. [7]
