The young football prodigy, Aaron Essel, originally born in Ghana on 30 July 2005, is a footballer peaking in his formative years as he currently stands at the ripe age of 19. Shaped by the fiery arenas of the Scottish football circuit, Essel has developed into a seasoned central defensive midfielder for the Premiership side, St Johnstone.
At first glance, his physical stature of 5ft 10in (1.79m) tall and an imposing weight of 11st (70kg), combined with his jersey emblazoned with the number 15, exudes the presence of a disciplined and built athlete, precisely moulded for a defensive midfield role in a game known for both its grace and gruelling physical requirements.
Having secured a niche in the competitive football market, Essel's current market value hovers approximately around the £210k mark, according to Transfermarkt. His tenure at St Johnstone is set to lapse on 31 December 2025, with only 9 months standing between his current contract and free agency.
In his time at St Johnstone, the midfielder's Premiership track record for the season 2024 - 2025 has been consistently admired. Essel graced the pitch in a total of 15 Premiership games, of which he stormed onto the green from the starting line-up nine times, and rose from the bench on six occasions. His prowess was not just limited to the Premiership, as he also shone in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 season for St Johnstone, earning him three starts in the illustrious competition.
