Kehinde, who signed in 2023 from Danish side Randers FC, accumulated two goals and four assists across 30 appearances in all competitions.
Among his standout moments was a dramatic 92nd-minute winner in the derby against Újpest on 17 August 2024, a goal firmly etched in supporters’ memories.
Prior to his time in Hungary, the 27 year old had risen through Manchester United’s academy and then made his mark in Denmark. At Randers, he was directly involved in 22 goals 10 scored and 12 assisted across 122 matches.

This season, he did not feature in Ferencváros’ UEFA Champions League qualifying squad, and his departure had been anticipated.
Kehinde remains eligible to play internationally for either England or Nigeria. He has declared for the Super Eagles, having trained with Nigeria’s Olympic squad in 2019 before an Africa U-23 Cup of Nations qualifier, although he did not make the matchday squad.
Editorial
We believe Tosin Kehinde’s departure signals the end of a memorable chapter for both player and club. His late-game heroics, particularly that derby winner, encapsulated the kind of flair and drama that football thrives on.
We have witnessed how a player, with roots in one of the most prestigious academies, can reinvent himself elsewhere. Kehinde’s journey from Manchester United’s youth ranks to becoming a cherished figure in Budapest underscores the unpredictable beauty of football careers.
We find ourselves contemplating the broader path for players like him. Will this departure pave the way for a return to Denmark, a leap into another European league, or perhaps a new chapter closer to home? Ferencváros have lost a figure who combined pedigree with passion, and the timing of his exit after omitting him from Champions League qualifying adds a bittersweet tone to the farewell.
We hope that Kehinde’s next destination appreciates the combination of resilience and skill that brought him two league titles. His allegiance to Nigeria adds another layer of intrigue. As he moves on, we are left reflecting on how domestic leagues across Europe can become transformative stages for players who may not break through at elite clubs but still leave a lasting legacy.
We believe the journey continues, and it should be just as compelling as the story he leaves behind.
