Club career



Early years and Santa Clara


Born in Jega, Kebbi, 19-year-old Sanusi signed with Gil Vicente F.C. of the Portuguese Primeira Liga in 2016. In January 2017, he was loaned to third division club SC Mirandela.[2][3]

Sanusi reached an agreement to join C.D. Santa Clara on 16 March 2019, with the deal being made effective on 1 July.[4] He made his Portuguese top-flight debut on 15 September that year, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win against Moreirense FC.[5] He scored his first goal in the competition on 23 June 2020, in a 4–3 away victory over S.L. Benfica which marked the Azoreans' first-ever at the Estádio da Luz.[6]


Porto


On 30 August 2020, Sanusi signed a five-year contract with FC Porto.[7] He won the first trophy of his career on 23 December, when he played the entire 2–0 defeat of Benfica in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.[8][9] He finished his first year with 41 competitive matches,[10] scoring in the 4–3 league win over C.D. Tondela.[11]

On 7 May, 2022, Sanusi scored the only goal in the 93rd minute of O Clássico against Benfica to seal the club's 30th league title.[12]


International career


Sanusi made his debut for the Nigeria national team on 9 October 2020, in a 1–0 friendly defeat against Algeria in Klagenfurt.[13][14] He earned his first official cap the following month, in the 4–4 home draw with Sierra Leone for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.[15] At the finals in Cameroon, the team were eliminated in the last 16 by Tunisia; manager Augustine Eguavoen was criticised for ordering Sanusi and right-back Ola Aina not to attack before they were losing with ten men.[16]
