Who is Moses Usor? The Meteoric Rise of Nigeria’s Left-Footed Gem

Born on February 5, 2002, Moses Usor is a dynamic Nigerian winger known for his sharp pace, trickery, and lethal left foot. Wearing the number 24 jersey for the Super Eagles and number 8 for his club, Usor operates mainly as an inverted right winger or forward, driving past defenders to trigger dangerous shots or play decisive passes.

Usor learned his craft at 36 Lion FC, a famous grassroots academy in Lagos responsible for nurturing top Nigerian football talent. His technical agility and impressive displays quickly caught European eyes, earning him a transfer to Czech giants Slavia Prague in early 2022. After making an instant splash with Slavia’s reserve team scoring six goals in nine appearances, he earned a swift promotion to the senior team and made his Czech First League debut later that season.

Seeking fresh challenges, Usor moved to Austrian Bundesliga club LASK on loan in January 2023. His tactical discipline, work ethic, and consistency on the wing prompted LASK to activate a permanent buyout, locking him down on a long-term contract running through June 2028. During his time in Austria, he has featured regularly across domestic league fixtures, cup ties, and European continental competitions.

Usor’s relentless progression reached a milestone when he earned his maiden call-up to the Super Eagles national team.

Marking his international debut against Madagascar in Nigeria’s AFCON 2027 qualification opener, the number 24 immediately made his presence felt by scoring his first senior goal for his country.

Combining elite speed with raw talent, Usor continues to cement his place as one of Nigeria’s most exciting modern attackers.
