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 central defensive midfielder with Aberdeen. He wears squad number 32 and is valued at around £510,000 by Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came in 2018 with Start, where he scored three goals in 26 appearances. That remains the clearest attacking return in a career built more around midfield work than headline numbers.
