Ibrahim Said

Ibrahim Said of Motherwell was born in Kano, Nigeria on 15 June 2002 (age 23).

Ibrahim Said is a Nigerian right winger, born on 15 June 2002 (age 23), now with Motherwell and wearing squad number 90. His current market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His career has been shaped far more by Viborg than by anywhere else. Across four seasons in Denmark he made 93 league appearances and scored eight league goals, with his best return coming in 2022–23, when he scored four times in 31 league matches. That was the spell that gave him a proper senior footing rather than just a line on a CV.

At Motherwell, Said has remained firmly involved in 2025–26. He has made 37 league appearances and scored three league goals, with another five outings in the League Cup and two in the Scottish Cup. Across all competitions for the Fir Park side, that takes him to 44 appearances and three goals.

Said’s career to this point is a straightforward one: a winger developed through a substantial Viborg spell, now getting regular football in Scotland with Motherwell.

Ibrahim Said has been a regular part of Motherwell’s Premiership side in 2025-26, making 37 league appearances including 25 starts. The return of three goals from right wing points to a player used more for width and continuity than decisive end product, while six yellow cards suggest a reasonably combative edge. With five League Cup appearances and two more in the Scottish Cup, his 44 matches in all competitions underline his importance to Motherwell’s squad structure.

Said’s known senior pathway is still relatively narrow, with Viborg and Motherwell the two confirmed clubs on the record. The seasonal goal data shows modest but recurring output – 11 goals across the listed campaigns, including three in the current league season. At 23, the profile is less of an established finisher and more of a developing wide player now getting sustained minutes in the Scottish Premiership.

The transfer history points to a measured recruitment gamble rather than a marquee move. Said joined Viborg from an unknown club in October 2020, then moved to Motherwell for a reported 120,000 fee in July 2025. That fee, alongside a current market value of €1.00m, suggests Motherwell saw resale or development value in a player moving from Danish football into a comparable Scottish Premiership environment.
