Fuad Gbolahan Salami (born 15 April 1991) is a Nigerian footballer who plays as forward for Saudi club Al-Taraf.

Club career[edit]

He started with Sunshine Stars F.C. before moving to Ibadan-based Shooting Stars F.C. In 2010, he was suspended by the league for using threatening language after scoring in a league game against his old team.[4] He joined Warri Wolves ahead of the 2014 season, and with ten games left was second in scoring with 13 league goals.

Red Star Belgrade[edit]

In January 2015, Salami transferred to Serbian side Red Star Belgrade by signing a loan deal for remainder of the season, with an option for permanent deal.[5] He returned to Warri less than two months later when Red Star was having financial problems.[6]

Irtysh Pavlodar[edit]

On 25 January 2018 Salami signed for Irtysh Pavlodar.[7] On 9 August 2018, Salami left Irtysh Pavlodar by mutual consent.[8]

International career[edit]

Salami was part of the Nigeria national under-20 football team at the 2009 African Youth Championship. Then, he was part of the Nigeria national under-23 football team during their failed attempt to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics. In January 2014, coach Stephen Keshi, invited him to be a part of the Nigeria national football team for the 2014 African Nations Championship.[9] He scored the only goal for the Home-based Eagles in their opening 2–1 loss to Mali.

He was called into the squad for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualification[10] and scored a late goal as a substitute against Congo, but Nigeria lost 3–2 at home. His form earned him a start in the next game away to South Africa.
