Taiye Abdulateef Yusuf : the next big thing at Olympiacos academy? | OneFootball

One game. That’s all he needed to make himself a name in Greece when no one was expecting it! A few months after the end of the Olympiacos B team, we didn't think we would see profiles like Taiye Abdulateef Yusuf at Olympiacos: those foreign “bets” the club used to make that, for the most part, barely worked out. And with the “golden generation” led by Babis Kostoulas, Theofanis Bakoulas, Chritos Mouzakitis, Antonis Papakanellos and Isidoros Koutsidis, the room for experimentation in the academy seemed to be small. But football, sometimes, can hide some surprises. Especially in a club that belongs to a larger group of clubs - along with Nottingham Forest and Rio Ave - with a shared scouting operating system. "The misfortune of one makes the happiness of others". That’s how the 18 year old Nigerian forward ended up in Greece… after having tried his luck in England, with Forest.
