We have fantastic fans who always support us, whether we win or lose,” Olusegun mentioned in an interview on Match TV.
This season, Olusegun has appeared in 28 matches for Krasnodar across all competitions, scoring three goals. His current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2028. According to the online portal Transfermarkt, the market value of the 23-year-old player is €2.5 million.
