Seyi Adeleke (born 17 November 1991) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a left-back or midfielder.
He signed his first professional contract for Lazio and was loaned to Pergocrema, Salernitana and FC Biel-Bienne, before moving to Western Sydney Wanderers in 2015. He subsequently returned to Italy to play for Arcella.
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Adeleke moved to Italy in 2007 as a teenager. [2]
On 22 August 2015, Adeleke joined Australian club Western Sydney Wanderers. [3] On 7 November 2015, he made his Wanderers debut. [4] He travelled with the club to the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup, and missed his kick in the penalty shoot-out loss to ES Sétif which saw the Wanders finish sixth. [5] On 13 February 2016, it was announced that Adeleke had left Western Sydney Wanderers. [6]
In May 2016 Adeleke signed with Arcella, based in Padua, Italy, playing in Prima Categoria. [7] In 2016, however, Adeleke's Italian residency status came under threat. Needing to be a "professional athlete", as the league in which he was playing ( Promozione) was an amateur league, Adeleke's permit was not renewed by the Italian National Olympic Committee. Adeleke appealed this on the grounds that he was receiving payment to play. [2]
