Afeez Aremu is a Nigerian central defensive midfielder, born on 3 October 1999 (age 26). He first came properly into view in Norway with Start, where his 2018 league season remains his most productive: 26 appearances and three goals from a role usually built more around tidying up than decorating the scoresheet.
His route since then has taken him through German football and on to Scotland. In 2025-26 he made eight league appearances for Kaiserslautern before joining Aberdeen, where he wore squad number 32 and made 10 league appearances, scoring once.
Aremu is valued at around £510,000 by Transfermarkt. His career to this point is that of an established professional midfielder, with senior football in Norway, Germany and Scotland, and a profile built more on function than fuss.
