Career
[edit]Roma
[edit]Wahab started his European career with Italian club Reggiana, along with Obafemi Martins and other Nigerian players. Both players were signed by Italian giants Roma in July 2001,[1] for 3 billion lire, while Giuseppe Di Masi moved in the opposite direction for 2.5 billion lire on a co-ownership deal.[2] Wahab was loaned back to Reggiana in the 2001–02 season. He played for Roma's Primavera team in 2002–-03 season, and was promoted to the first team in the 2003–04 season, playing once in Serie A and once in the 2003–04 UEFA Cup, when he substituted Daniele De Rossi against FK Vardar.[3] Wahab also played for Bologna in the 2001 Torneo Città di Arco.[4]
He then spent three seasons loaned to clubs in the Italian lower divisions.[5] Although he was loaned to other clubs, in 2006 his contract was extended from 2007 to 2009.
Bellinzona
[edit]In summer 2007, Wahab was signed by AC Bellinzona. In the 2009–10 season, he went to SE Eivissa-Ibiza and played a few friendlies.[6] However, the transfer collapsed after the club was expelled from the league and re-admitted as the new club UD Ibiza-Eivissa in the regional league.[citation needed]
Wahab then played two league matches for Bellinzona, in October and November. In January 2010, he was dropped from the squad, but was later re-included in the team's official roster for the 2010–11 season.[citation needed]
