Adeleke Akinola Akinyemi (born 11 August 1998) is a Nigerian professional footballer.[2]
Career
Club
Serdarlı GB
On 24 January 2015, Akinyemi signed for KTFF Süper Lig side Serdarlı GB. He played 13 matches in the league, scoring 10 goals. In total, he played 17 matches and scored 11 goals for the Turkish Cypriot side during the 2014–15 season.[3]
Ventspils
In early August 2018, Akinyemi went AWOL, resulting in his club, FK Ventspils filling a missing persons report amid fear the player had been kidnapped.[4][5][6] Akinyemi returned to Ventspils a few days later, 13 August, playing in their win over FK Liepāja on the same day.[7]
Start
On 16 August 2018, IK Start announced the signing of Akinyemi, on a contract until the end of the 2021 season, from FK Ventspils.[8] After scoring 3 goals in Start's 2018 campaign which ended in relegation, in the 2019 1. divisjon season opener he broke his ankle.[9] He was sidelined for a long time and failed to break into Start's first team after that. The former top scorer did not manage any goals during a loan to Hamkam in 2020 either.[2] Following a goalless league run in 2021,[10] Start decided to release him after the end of the 2021 season.[11]
Karviná
On 6 February 2023, Karviná announced the signing of Akinyemi, from KF Laçi.[12]
