Muhammad Gambo (born 10 March 1988),
also known as Muhammed,is a
footballer who plays for Kano Pillars F.C.
in the Nigeria Premier League. He is a
strong and powerful centre
forward.

Club career
Gambo moved to his current club Kano
Pillars from Buffalo F.C. in 2006 and has
since been a sensation for his current club
scoring over 60 goals in league and cup
competitions. He was tipped to replace
Ekigho Ehiosun at Turkish club Samsunspor
in the August transfer window after scoring
15 goals in the Nigerian league in the 2012
season with 5 goals in the Cup. In
July 2013 he was close to signing with
Tunisian club Club Africain.

International career
Gambo Muammed was called up to the
Nigerian national football team otherwise
known as the Super Eagles by Former
coach Samson Siasia for a tournament in
America but could not make his debut due
to the competition being cancelled. He has since called on the new Nigeria
manager Stephen Keshi to give him a
chance in his new setup after injuries
plagued his return. In March 2013 Gambo was an unused
substitute in a 1–1 draw against Kenya
national football team in the 2014 FIFA
World Cup qualification (CAF) in Nigeria.
In June 2013 He was selected by Nigerian
coach Stephen Keshi to represent Nigeria
in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup
He was one of the 8 locally based players
that made the list, the only striker and has
widely been regarded as one of the best
strikers in the Nigeria Premier League in
the last few seasons On 6 July
2013, Gambo got his first international goal
when he scored for Nigeria's B team in the
CAF CHAN qualifier against Côte d'Ivoire at
the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna.

Personal Life
Gambo watches videos of The Great
Brazilian Ronaldo and is a Big Fan. As
quoted Below from Fifa.com Muhammad
Gambo is one of several Nigerian-based
players that Super Eagles coach Stephen
Keshihas called up for the FIFA
Confederations Cup Brazil 2013. However,
unlike most of the other locally-based
players, Gambo is not a talented youngster
embarking on his career, but a seasoned
professional, who has spent several seasons
campaigning in the Nigerian top flight. The
25-year-old also brings the experience of
playing in the CAF Champions League with
him, having advanced to the semi-finals
with Kano Pillars in 2009. The Kano captain
last year seemed close to moving to
Turkey, but the transfer fell through in the
end. It is not something that causes him
great consternation. "I don’t want to rush
anything, when it is time I will go and play
in Europe." Gambo was first called up to
the Super Eagles in 2010 but the matches
were canceled and he had to wait on the
sidelines until he was given the nod by
Keshi recently for Nigeria's friendly against
Mexico, two 2014 FIFA World Cup™
qualifiers as well as the Confederations
Cup. The tournament provides Gambo with
an opportunity to play in the country of
his idol, Ronaldo. "I want to be like
Ronaldo of Brazil. He is my role model. It
will be great to be like him. I want to
make a name for myself as he did," he
recently told journalists. Gambo
rejected offers from Iranian premier
division called zobahan ,and looking
forward to play in European clubs.
