Ibrahim Said, born on the 15th of June 2002, hails from the football-fertile soil of Nigeria. Standing at a nimble 5ft 8in (1.73m) and weighing in at a mere 10st 3lb (65kg), this 23-year-old forward predominantly plays as a right winger for Motherwell, donning the number 90 jersey with pride.
According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is approximately £850k, a figure which speaks to his ever-growing potential in the beautiful game.
Flashback to October 2020, and young Said found himself transitioning to the Superliga in Denmark with Viborg. In his debut year (2021 - 2022) he gallantly made 19 first team appearances and scored a single goal. Over the subsequent season (2022 - 2023), Said improved significantly, making 31 first team appearances and netting four goals for Viborg. In the season 2023 - 2024, Said maintained steady growth albeit with a slight reduction in productivity, making 29 first team appearances and scoring three goals. That was followed by an elusive season (2024 - 2025) with 14 first team appearances but no scoring record.
With his Danish venture ending, he set his sails towards Scotland, signing with Motherwell in July 2025 for an undisclosed fee near the vicinity of £120k. At Motherwell, during the season 2025 - 2026, Said significantly contributed to the team’s success, making 30 first team appearances and adding three goals to his career tally.
He also took part in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 and the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 edition representing Motherwell. In the League Cup, he ignited his start with three appearances and two substitute involvements. Similarly, in the Scottish Cup, he had one start and one appearance as a substitute, garnering vital experience in these top-level cup competitions.
