About the player
He started with Giant Brillars in Nigeria before a loan to Austria's Vorwärts Steyr, where the move was cut short after eight games and one goal when the club ran into financial trouble.
OH Leuven signed him permanently in July 2024 for a similar fee, with Salernitana holding a 10% sell-on clause, and tied him to a contract running until 2028.
At international level, Ikwuemesi has represented Nigeria at under-20 level, earning three caps in 2020. He was named in Nigeria's provisional 54-man squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations but did not make the final 28-man selection, and he has not yet made his senior debut for the Super Eagles.
