Club career

IFK Göteborg

From 2018 to 2021, Yusuf played for Allsvenskan club IFK Göteborg.

Antwerp

On 16 July 2021, Belgian club Antwerp announced that they had reached an oral agreement with IFK Göteborg over the transfer of Yusuf. Yusuf won the Belgian league and cup double with Royal Antwerp in 2022-23, first seeing off Mechelen 2–0 in the 2023 Belgian Cup final, before edging out Racing Genk on the final day of the league season, drawing 2–2 away to their title rivals thanks to a 94th-minute equaliser from captain Toby Alderweireld. It was Antwerp's first league crown in 66 years, having last lifted the title in 1957.

New England Revolution

On 12 August 2024, Yusuf signed a contract with New England Revolution through the 2027 season, with a club option for the 2028 season. His transfer fee was officially undisclosed, but reportedly between $2–3 million. The Revolution were able to add Yusuf via MLS' “season-ending injury replacement mechanism;" given the club's loss of Tomás Chancalay, who was sidelined in June with a torn ACL. Yusuf made his MLS debut on 14 September against Orlando City, coming on as a substitute for Ian Harkes in the 72nd minute. He made his first start for the Revolution the following week on 21 September against Charlotte FC, playing 75 minutes. On 28 September, Yusuf played his first full match for the Revolution, and recorded his first assist for the club, setting up Brandon Bye's 86th-minute game-winning goal in a 1–0 victory…

International career

Yusuf made the final squad for the Nigeria national team for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. He made his AFCON debut against Equatorial Guinea on January 14, 2024 which ended in a 1–1 draw. He was substituted off in the 69th minute of the game after sustaining an injury.
