Anosike Victor Ementa (born 3 May 2002) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Danish Superliga club Viborg FF.
The son of a Danish mother and a Nigerian father, Ementa grew up in Annisse, Gribskov Municipality. [2] Brought up by his Danish mother alongside two siblings, Ementa's father returned to Nigeria when he was around six or seven years old. Despite his father's limited involvement in their upbringing, Ementa has minimal contact with him. While he has expressed curiosity about visiting Nigeria, he feels a stronger connection to his Danish identity and aspires to represent the Denmark national team. [2] [1] He grew up a fan of Dennis Bergkamp and West Ham United. [3]
Ementa started playing football at local club Annisse IF at youth level, before transitioning to FC Helsingør's youth academy. He was initially positioned as a defensive midfielder before changing position to forward. [2]
Ementa already made his debut in the Danish reserve league at the age of 15 against the reserve team of Copenhagen in August 2017. [4] In November 2019, Ementa signed a new contract with Helsingør. [5] He got his official debut for the club on 4 July 2020 in a Danish 2nd Division promotion play-off game against Jammerbugt FC.
Helsingør was promoted to the Danish 1st Division for the 2020-21 season. Ementa made two appearances in the 1st Division in December 2020, before he was sold.
On 27 January 2021 Danish Superliga club AaB confirmed, that they had signed Ementa on a deal until the end of 2023. [6] Ementa was initially to be intended for a role on the club's U-19 team. However, he did not manage to make his debut for the under-19 team in his first season, after he in April 2021 had to undergo surgery for a fatigue fracture in his little toe. [7]
Still, in the June 2021, he was promoted to the first team squad. [8] On 22 November 2021, Ementa made his official debut for AaB against SønderjyskE in the Danish Superliga. [9] Ementa came on the pitch 89th minute and managed to make the assist for AaB's last goal. [10]
