Club career

Manchester City

Nmecha made his Manchester City debut in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final against Burton Albion, replacing Oleksandr Zinchenko in the 67th minute, in which Manchester City won the game 1–0.[1] Nmecha scored the winning goal in the U18 Premier League Cup final on 19 March 2019, against Middlesbrough U18.[2] On 3 November 2020, Nmecha provided an assist for João Cancelo on his Champions League debut for City as a substitute for Kevin De Bruyne in a 3–0 home win over Olympiacos in the group stage.[3] Nmecha was released by City at the end of his contract on 30 June 2021.[4]

Wolfsburg

Nmecha joined VfL Wolfsburg after leaving Manchester City, shortly after his brother Lukas made the same move.[5] In his two seasons at the club, he played 50 competitive matches, including two Champions League games during the 2021–22 season, and scored three goals during his second season in Bundesliga,[6] in which he netted a brace against Bochum in a 4–0 win.[7]

Borussia Dortmund

On 3 July 2023, Nmecha signed for Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract.[8] His transfer was controversial for Dortmund's supporters to the signing due to comments and social media posts made in the past by Nmecha which were regarded as homophobic and transphobic.[9][10] On 25 October 2023, he scored his first goal for Dortmund in a 1–0 away victory against Newcastle United at St James' Park in the Champions League, which was also his first goal in the competition.[11]

International career

Nmecha has represented both Germany and England at youth international level.

On 17 March 2023, he received his first official call-up to the German senior national team for the friendlies against Peru and Belgium.[12]

Personal life

The son of a German mother and a Nigerian father, Nmecha and his older brother Lukas were born in Hamburg, but moved to England with their family in 2007. After honing their skills in the Hamburg borough of Altona, the switch to Manchester brought the young Nmechas to the attention of Premier League team Manchester City. Both went on to join the club's academy.[13]

Nmecha is a Christian. He has said, “Every time I go on the field, it's not about me, it's about glorifying God.”[14]
