Oluwaseun Victor Adewumi is an Austrian attacking midfielder born on 23 February 2005. He is at Hertha BSC for the 2026-27 campaign on a season-long loan from Burnley, operating in the 2. Bundesliga after a series of loans and returns linked to Burnley. The move places a young, mobile attacker with continental experience into a promotion-chasing environment.
Hertha sporting director Benjamin Weber highlighted versatility, pace and dynamism as the qualities the club expects to benefit from. Sources describe Adewumi as a playmaker who can occupy several roles and positions in attack, with experience gained across different competitions.
The sample includes goals against Magdeburg and Eintracht Braunschweig and a 74-minute outing at Dynamo Dresden. The data points to a direct, goal-oriented contribution rather than build-up volume at this stage.
Adewumi came through Floridsdorfer AC and SK Rapid Wien youth structures before returning to Floridsdorfer AC. He progressed to Floridsdorfer AC II in January 2021 and to the senior Floridsdorfer AC side in January 2022.
He scored five goals in 32 appearances for Cercle Bruges last season according to BBC, with Yahoo reporting six goals in 33 competitive appearances for Cercle Brugge.
At Hertha he has featured intermittently in the 2. Bundesliga, with appearances at Dynamo Dresden, VfL Osnabrück, Magdeburg, Eintracht Braunschweig and Saarbrücken. He is an Austria Under-21 international, with recent U21 EURO qualification minutes recorded.
Contract expires on 30 June 2027. It is unclear if Hertha secured an option to buy on the loan.
The Austrian attacking midfielder is currently under contract with Hertha BSC until June 2027.
