Dynamo Kyiv Secure Shola Ogundana in Four-Year Deal
Kyiv, Ukraine — September 2, 2025
Dynamo Kyiv have officially announced the signing of Nigerian midfielder Shola Ogundana, who joins the club on a four-year contract following a promising youth career at Brazilian giants Flamengo.
The 20-year-old brings a reputation for explosive pace, technical finesse, and attacking versatility, qualities that Dynamo head coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi has praised as vital to the club’s evolving midfield strategy.
Ogundana’s arrival marks a strategic investment in youth talent, as Dynamo continue to rebuild with an eye toward European competition. Club officials confirmed the signing late Monday, with Ogundana expected to begin training immediately ahead of the upcoming Conference League fixtures.
“Shola is a dynamic player with tremendous potential,” said sporting director Andriy Yarmolenko. “We believe he’ll thrive in our system and bring fresh energy to our attacking transitions.”
The move also reflects Dynamo’s growing scouting presence in West Africa and South America, regions increasingly tapped for emerging talent. Ogundana’s development at Flamengo included standout performances in the U20 Copa São Paulo and a brief stint with the senior squad during preseason.
Further details of the transfer fee remain undisclosed.
