Abdul Abdulmalik: Is the Boreham Wood star worth a National League record fee?
When it comes to non-league football, there’s one name on everyone’s lips: Abdul Abdulmalik.
The Boreham Wood star is one of the most talked-about players in the National League at the minute, following a breakout 25-goal-contribution campaign for the Woods last season.
Boreham Wood initially rejected a £1 million offer from Djurgarden, then reportedly rejected an improved £1.5m offer.
This would comfortably break the existing National League transfer record - £1m fee Leicester City paid in 2012 for Fleetwood Town’s Jamie Vardy.
