Emmanuel Longelo, born on 27 December 2000 (age 25), is an English left-back with Motherwell. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His strongest league season came in 2025-26, when he scored eight goals in 36 appearances for Motherwell. That is a fair return from full-back, and more useful than the usual polite praise attached to attacking defenders.
Longelo has remained involved in 2026-27, with 12 league appearances, one League Cup appearance, two Scottish Cup appearances and six Conference League qualifier appearances, scoring once in Europe. Across all competitions for Motherwell that season, he has made 21 appearances and scored one goal.
At this stage, Longelo is an established Motherwell first-team player rather than a name requiring inflated billing. His career is still being shaped, but his recent spell has given him regular football and a clear role on the left side of defence.
