Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.1, Olusegun carries the 2nd-highest potential of the wingers in the Premier League (top 12%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 24, Olusegun sits on 5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Olusegun's projected Rating — 33.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
