Afeez Aremu, born on 3 October 1999 (age 26), is a Nigerian central defensive midfielder at Aberdeen, where he wears squad number 32. His current market value is around £510,000, according to Transfermarkt.
At Start in 2018, Aremu put together the most productive league season of his career, scoring three goals in 26 appearances. That remains the clearest attacking return in a career built more around the less glamorous work in midfield.
His 2025-26 season was split between Kaiserslautern and Aberdeen. He made eight league appearances for the German club before recording 10 league appearances and one goal for Aberdeen.
Aremu’s career has taken him from Norway to Germany and then to Scotland, with Aberdeen his current stop. He is an established professional rather than a headline act, and his profile is that of a holding midfielder expected to give structure rather than sparkle.
