Nigerian winger Bamidele Yusuf stole the spotlight on Saturday afternoon, delivering a scintillating performance as Ferencváros demolished Szarvaskend 15-0 in the Hungarian Cup.
The 24-year-old forward, who is yet to earn a senior call-up for Nigeria, netted four goals in the one-sided contest, further enhancing his reputation as one of Africa’s most underrated attacking talents in Europe.
Yusuf only joined Hungary’s most successful club this summer, completing a move from Serbian side FK Vojvodina on a four-year deal.
His transfer was greeted with high expectations, given his remarkable exploits in the Serbian SuperLiga last season, where he scored 18 goals and registered four assists across all competitions.
That form made him one of the most feared wingers in the league and caught the eye of scouts across Europe.
Quick, skillful, and direct, Yusuf has proven himself to be a dynamic winger who thrives in one-on-one situations.
His ability to cut inside, unleash powerful strikes, and create scoring chances makes him a versatile threat on either flank. Saturday’s performance further underlined his knack for turning opportunities into goals, a quality the Super Eagles could benefit from as they seek to rebuild a more clinical and explosive attack ahead of the 2026 AFCON
Beyond his scoring touch, Yusuf’s relentless pace and pressing ability fit into the modern style of football the Nigerian national team is looking to embrace.
His talent could provide depth and healthy competition for established stars like Samuel Chukwueze, Ademola Lookman, and Moses Simon.
With Ferencváros competing not only in the domestic league but also in the UEFA Europa League, Yusuf will have the perfect platform to test himself against tougher European opponents and strengthen his case for an international debut.
If he maintains this level of form, it may only be a matter of time before Super Eagles head coach Finidi George extends an invitation to the Hungarian-based star.
For now, Nigerian fans can take pride in another exciting prospect making waves abroad. Bamidele Yusuf has proven he is ready for the big stage, and his four-goal heroics in Hungary serve as a timely reminder that the Super Eagles must keep their doors open to fresh, hungry talent.
