Zaidu Sanusi is facing the prospect of limited game time at Portuguese side Porto following the arrival of Brazilian left back Wendell.
The Nigerian joined the club one year ago from Santa Clara but after an impressive start to his career at the club, he suffered a dip in form towards the end of last season. He was subsequently benched in some games.
He appeared to have won back his spot when he started their first league game of the season against Belenenses which they won 2-0 but he dropped to the bench in the next game against Famalicao.
Zaidu was introduced for Wilson Manafa in the 71st minute of the 2-1 win and he nearly cost Porto all three points when he lost possession in a clumsy manner allowing Famalicao to equalize. The goal was however ruled out for offside by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) saving his blushes.
After the game he was subjected to several insults by fans of the club forcing the club to move swiftly in signing Wendell for a fee in the region of €4 million. He is seen as an upgrade on Zaidu whose growth has someone stall.
