Vojvodina forward Bamidele Yusuf has become one of the standout players in the Serbian SuperLiga, showcasing remarkable skill and precision in the ongoing 2024/25 season.
The 23-year-old Nigerian striker has netted eight goals and delivered two assists in just 17 appearances, placing him among the league’s most lethal attackers.
His outstanding performances, including a sensational four-goal haul against Novi Pazar, have fueled conversations about his potential to represent Nigeria’s Super Eagles in international football.
Speaking on his ambition, Yusuf expressed his eagerness to don the national colors, emphasizing his readiness to contribute to the team.
“It’s every footballer’s dream to represent their country. If given the chance, I’m ready to bring my best to the team and help them achieve more goals,” he confidently stated.
Impressive Scoring Form in Serbia
Bamidele Yusuf’s season began with a gradual adaptation to the Serbian SuperLiga, but he quickly found his stride. His goalscoring streak started in August with a brace against Radnički, and he has continued to shine ever since.
The highlight of his season came in November, when he delivered a historic performance by scoring all four goals in Vojvodina’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Novi Pazar.
This achievement etched his name in history as only the second Nigerian to net four goals in an away game for the club.
Yusuf’s contributions extend beyond the league; he has also been pivotal in Vojvodina’s Serbian Cup campaign. His two goals in the 3-1 win over Grafičar in the Round of 16 secured their spot in the quarter-finals, underlining his importance to the team.
A Journey to European Stardom
Before his current stint at Vojvodina, Yusuf showcased his talent in various European leagues. He first made his mark in Slovakia with Spartak Trnava after arriving from Nigeria in 2020.
His journey later took him to Portuguese side Estoril and Serbian club Radnički Niš, where he impressed with six goals and five assists in just 16 matches.
Now thriving at Vojvodina, Yusuf’s continued success could pave the way for his Super Eagles debut, with Nigeria’s next World Cup qualifier against Rwanda set for March 2025.
