Ibrahim Said

Ibrahim Said of Motherwell was born in Kano, Nigeria on 15 June 2002 (age 24).

Ibrahim Said, born on 15 June 2002 (age 24), is a Nigerian right winger now with Motherwell, where he wears the number 19 shirt. His current market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His career to this point is shaped mainly by Viborg. Across four seasons with the Danish club, Said made 93 league appearances and scored eight league goals, giving him a proper body of senior football rather than the usual thin file of promise and potential.

His most productive league campaign came in 2022-2023, when he scored four times in 31 appearances for Viborg. That remains the clearest season of evidence for what he can offer from wide areas: regular involvement, some end product, and enough consistency to keep being picked.

At Motherwell in 2026-2027, Said has made five appearances in all competitions and scored once. That includes one league appearance with one goal, along with two Scottish Cup outings and two in Conference League qualifying.

Said is an established professional whose main work so far was done at Viborg, with Motherwell the next stage rather than the story itself. His record is modest, but it is a real one.
