Afeez Aremu, born in Nigeria on 3 October 1999 (age 26), is a defensive midfielder with Aberdeen, where he wears number 32. He is not the sort of player built around headlines, which is generally no bad thing for someone in that part of the pitch.
His most productive league season came with Start in 2018, when he scored three goals in 26 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his early senior career: regular football, modest output, and a role based more on structure than spectacle.
At Aberdeen in 2025-26, Aremu has made 10 league appearances and scored one league goal. His current market value is around Β£510,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Aremuβs career to this point has been that of an established professional midfielder rather than a name demanding much fuss. From Start to Aberdeen, the thread has been steady involvement, defensive responsibility and occasional contribution further up the pitch.
