In a move that has caught many by surprise, Nigeria international Isaac Success has completed a transfer to the reigning United Arab Emirates Pro League champions, Al Wasl.
This marks a new chapter in his career after his abrupt departure from European football.
Success, who was released by Italian Serie A side Udinese shortly before the close of the summer transfer window, joined Al Wasl on a free transfer, Footballrover reports.
The 28-year-old forward had spent three years at Udinese, where his contract was terminated by mutual consent in August, ending his spell with the club.
Despite being a notable figure during his time in Europe, Success has faced challenges in recent months.
His last appearance for both club and country came on May 19, 2024, when he played just seven minutes in Udinese’s 1-1 draw against Empoli in Serie A.

The financial details and contract length of Isaac Success’s deal with Al Wasl remain undisclosed.
The former Golden Eaglets striker, who won the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2013, will be looking to revive his form after an extended period of inactivity.

Prior to his time in Italy, the Super Eagles forward played in Spain for Granada and Malaga and in England for Watford, where he earned recognition for his strength and technical abilities.
Now, Success joins a team that not only dominated the UAE Pro League but will also compete in the prestigious AFC Champions League and Presidents Cup this season.
Al Wasl hopes his experience will bolster their squad as they aim for more silverware on multiple fronts.
The move signals a fresh start for Isaac Success, who looks to make a significant impact in a new league after his European exit.
