Afeez Aremu

Afeez Aremu of Aberdeen was born in Ibadan, Nigeria on 3 October 1999 (age 26).

Afeez Aremu (born 3 October 1999, age 26) is a Nigerian defensive midfielder with Aberdeen, where he wears number 32. His current market value is around £510,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came back in 2018 with Start, when he scored three times in 26 appearances. That remains the clearest attacking return in a career built more around the unglamorous work in midfield than anything too showy.

At Aberdeen in 2026-27, Aremu has made seven league appearances and five more in the League Cup, giving him 12 appearances across all competitions. It is a straightforward profile: a Nigerian holding midfielder, now trying to establish a firmer place at Pittodrie.
