Adeleke Olamide Hammed is a dynamic and ball-dominant attacking midfielder, renowned for his press-resistance, exceptional passing range, and dribbling ability. Operating predominantly in the heart of the midfield, Olamide excels in carrying the ball and I’ll rate him 85% for his ball carrying and dribbling ability. His high football IQ is reflected in his ability to drop deep, collect the ball, play forward and dictate play with his superb ball carrying ability and passing vision.
Defensively, Olamide impresses with his work rate and that’s why I’ll rank him highly in duels won (85%) and recoveries (89%), after my observation. This shows his tenacity and positional intelligence. He reads the game well, regularly intercepting passes and winning loose balls, all while maintaining a silky dribbling style.
His key strengths include:
- Exploitation of space
- Vision and passing range
- Positional awareness
- Press-resistance
- Dribbling skill
Olamide’s style has drawn comparisons to Martin Ødegaard, though he’s right-footed.
With his all-around midfield qualities, it’s only a matter of time before top clubs take notice. For now, he remains an important player for Osun United going into the 2024/2025 Nigeria National League (NNL) Season.
An exciting talent on the rise, Olamide is one to watch closely.
