Emmanuel Longelo, a born and bred Englishman, blew out his 24th birthday candles on 27 December 2020. This burly defender, known for his solidity on the left-back position, currently graces the pitch of Motherwell. Towering at a respectable height of 6ft (approximately 1.84m) and lugging around the weight of 12st 1lb (around 77kg), Longelo is an imposing figure in any defensive line-up, donning the number 45 jersey.
As per his valuations on Transfermarkt, Longelo is worth around £671k, placing him amongst the hotshot defenders of the modern game.
Longelo had his first taste of professional football during the 2022 - 2023 season at Birmingham City, making a commendable 23 first-team appearances and even netting a goal in his debut season. He had a follow-up season at the same club, managing 17 first-team appearances.

His clout for Motherwell isn’t just limited to the Scottish Premiership. Longelo has also been making waves in the League Cup of the same season, proving instrumental in three starts and one substitution appearance, netting once.
