Afeez Aremu

Afeez Aremu has made six Premiership appearances – all starts – and added five League Cup appearances in 2026-27, scoring zero goals; that usage profile indicates a first-choice defensive midfield role relied on for screening and tempo control rather than attacking output, and three yellow cards underline his physical involvement and positional responsibilities.

Aremu progressed through five senior clubs: International Allies, Start, St. Pauli, Kaiserslautern and Aberdeen; he moved from International Allies to Start in January 2018, joined St. Pauli in August 2020, moved to Kaiserslautern in August 2023 and completed a transfer to Aberdeen in January 2026.

The Aberdeen transfer was a fee move of €140,000 in January 2026; previous moves from Start to St. Pauli in August 2020, from St. Pauli to Kaiserslautern in August 2023 and from International Allies to Start in January 2018 were undisclosed, leaving the Aberdeen fee as the only publicly recorded transfer amount.
