Godwin Oshagbemi: Central midfielder linked with Croatia move to NK Omis

Godwin Oshagbemi has completed a move from ASVO Benin to Croatian side NK Omis on a free transfer, signing a contract that begins on 2026-03-06 and runs until 2026-06-30. The Nigerian central midfielder leaves the Beninese club with immediate effect and joins Omis as a confirmed new arrival for the 2025/26 campaign.

The deal sees the 20-year-old swap West Africa for Southeast Europe, with NK Omis acquiring him without paying a transfer fee. According to the transfer data, no market value has been officially registered for Oshagbemi at the time of the move, underlining that Omis are making a low-risk addition to their midfield. The transfer is fully concluded, with ASVO Benin listed as the last club in his career path before the switch to the Croatian outfit.

Oshagbemi, born in Isanlu, Nigeria, on 18 Nov 2005, is listed primarily as a central midfielder and is noted as being comfortable with both feet, giving Omis tactical flexibility in the middle of the park. He represents Nigeria at club level and now takes the next step of his career in Croatia, potentially playing in the country’s domestic structure rather than remaining in his home country’s system.

Before joining NK Omis, Oshagbemi moved from Nigerian side Kwara United FC to ASVO Benin on 2024-07-04, also on a standard transfer. That switch marked his first move outside Nigeria, taking him into Benin’s football environment. The subsequent free transfer from ASVO Benin to Omis now extends his journey further abroad, adding a European chapter to a career that has already involved clubs in at least two different national associations.

No official statistics, recent match details, or season performance data are provided in the available information, and there are no records of goals, assists, or appearance totals in the current dataset. Likewise, there is no indication of league names or competitive levels for either ASVO Benin or NK Omis beyond the basic national affiliations of Benin and Croatia.

The absence of a registered market value and transfer fee means this move is framed more as a developmental and opportunity-driven switch than a major financial transaction. Having progressed from Kwara United FC in Nigeria to ASVO Benin and now NK Omis, Oshagbemi’s confirmed move to Croatia positions him to test himself in a new football culture and environment. If he adapts well and establishes himself in Omis’ midfield, this transfer could become a significant stepping stone in his professional trajectory, potentially shaping his reputation as a Nigerian midfielder capable of building a career abroad.
