Olanrewaju Kayode: 2023/24 season stats for forgotten Super Eagles forward

Amidst the off-field controversy surrounding his personal life, Nigeria Super Eagles forward Olanrewaju Kayode has continued to put in shifts for his Turkish club Genclerbirligi this season.

According to the latest data from Transfermarkt, the 31-year-old has featured in 20 matches across all competitions for his second-division side so far in the 2023/24 campaign.

Kayode, who last represented the Super Eagles in 2018, has made 16 starts for Genclerbirligi while also coming off the bench on 4 occasions.

In those 20 appearances, the experienced striker has managed to find the back of the net 4 times, while also providing 1 assist for his teammates.

This tally sees Kayode placed as the club's fifth highest scorer in the Turkish second tier club this season, highlighting his continued importance to the Gençlerbirliği setup.

Despite the off-field distractions and a tumultuous period in his personal life, Kayode has remained professional and continued to contribute on the pitch for his club.

However, the former Austria Vienna and Shakhtar Donetsk man played no further part in the season after March as Genclerbirligi's push for promotion back to the Turkish Süper Lig failed.

Currently, the player's long-term future may well depend on how he chooses to navigate the ongoing issues surrounding his marriage and family life in the coming months.
