Zaidu Sanusi, left‑back, born on 13 June 1997, lines up for FC Porto as the season reaches its decisive phase.
A left‑footed defender standing 182 cm, he offers the natural width and crossing angle expected from a modern full‑back. His build lets him contest aerial duels while retaining the agility to track quick wingers.
Sanusi started at Jega United before arriving in Portugal with Gil Vicente in January 2016. Spells at SC Mirandela and a return to Gil Vicente preceded a move to CD Santa Clara in January 2019, where his performances triggered a €4 million transfer to Porto in August 2020.
