The French first-division team, Lens has bought Hamzat Ojediran out of his contract, setting a new record transfer fee for our club in terms of foreign players. The 20-year-old Nigerian midfielder arrived at DVSC in February 2023. Since then, he has shown excessive progress, gradually becoming a key player of the team. During the spring season, he emerged as one of the best players of Loki. Hamzat, the fan favourite midfielder, has played in 31 league matches in red and white, during which he scored 3 goals.

Hamzat Ojediran: “I want to thank the fans for their support, thank you for believing in me, you will always be part of me. Hajrá, Loki!”

Ojediran is not the first player who signs to Lens as our two-time top scorer, Adamo Coulibaly also transferred to France in 2013, where he scored 10 goals in two seasons. RC Lens is a prominent team in one of Europe’s top leagues, having won the title in 1998, and reaching the semi-finals in international cup competitions. Last season, they also secured a spot in the Conference League. Earlier, notable players, such as El-Hadji Diouf, Seydou Keita, Vladimír Šmicer and Didier Six have also worn the jersey of Lens.

We would like to thank Hamzat Ojediran for his services at Loki and wish him good luck!
