Career

Osuji played for De Cardinal Football Academy until April 2024, when he moved to Sweden and signed for Kalmar FF in the Allsvenskan. Osuji has been denied a transfer to KRC Genk, owing to visa problems. [2]

According to Sveriges Radio, it was apparent that Osuji was one of Kalmar's leading players already after his first game. [3] He scored his first Allsvenskan goal against Malmö FF. [4]

As the 2024 Allsvenskan ended in relegation for Kalmar, Swedish media reported that at least 9 European clubs were interested in buying Osuji, in what could be a record transfer. [5] [6] [7] [2]

On 23 January 2025, Osuji signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Club Brugge in Belgium. [8]
