Hamzat Ojediran is being strongly linked with a move from French side Lens to MLS club Colorado Rapids, with the switch currently rated at a 90% probability according to data compiled on 23 December 2025.
The 22-year-old defensive midfielder, born in Lagos and capped at club level by RC Lens, is valued at €1.00m, a figure that is helping to fuel talk of a relatively low‑risk move for the Rapids. With no contract expiry information listed in the latest data, there is also speculation that Ojediran could yet move closer to free‑agent status, a factor that would further shape any negotiations between the Ligue 1 outfit and the MLS side.
Ojediran, who wears the number 15 shirt at Lens and operates primarily as a holding midfielder, has seen his market value fluctuate over recent seasons. After rising as high as €2.00m in December 2024, it has gradually fallen back to €1.00m by mid‑December 2025. That trajectory is being watched closely by Colorado, who are thought to see an opportunity to secure a relatively young midfielder with European experience at a modest cost.
The Nigerian began his professional journey at the Emmanuel Amunike Academy before moving to Albanian club KF Egnatia in 2022. A loan and subsequent permanent spell at Hungarian side Debreceni VSC followed, prior to his switch to Lens in August 2024 and his introduction to Ligue 1 football. Standing at 1.80m and right‑footed, he has largely been used in the screening role in front of the back four.
Lens and Colorado have not confirmed any talks publicly, and no agreement over terms has been disclosed, but the high probability rating attached to the rumour suggests discussions are advanced. If the move does materialise, a transfer to MLS could offer Ojediran a fresh platform to stabilise his market value and reshape the next phase of his career.
