Jay Ifeanyi-Junior Tyron Enem (born 11 March 2003) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Bologna.

Club career

[edit]

Enem spent his formative years at AFC, AZ Alkmaar and Ajax.[citation needed] Having come through the youth ranks at the latter club, he made his debut for Jong Ajax on 11 March 2022, coming on as a substitute in a 3–3 Eerste Divisie draw against FC Dordrecht.[2][3] During the 2021–22 season, he also became the top scorer for Ajax's under-18 team.[4] In the summer of 2022, the striker featured for Ajax's senior team in several pre-season friendly matches, scoring against NK Lokomotiva Zagreb.[5][6]

On 18 August 2022, Enem joined Serie B club Venezia on a permanent deal, signing a two-year contract, with an option for another season; he was initially registered for the under-19 team.[7][8] He made his first-team debut for Venezia on 21 January 2023, coming on as a substitute in the final minutes of a 0–1 league loss to Südtirol.[9][10]

On 31 January of the same year, Enem joined Serie C side Vis Pesaro on loan until the end of the season.[11][12][13] He was part of the team that managed to stay in the third tier without taking part in play-outs, following Imolese's point deduction and consequent relegation.[14][15]

On 16 September 2023, Enem was sent on loan to Cypriot side Ethnikos Achna until the end of the season.[16][17] On 10 September 2024, he moved on a new loan in Cyprus, this time with PAC Omonia 29M.[18]

Enem later joined Serbian SuperLiga side OFK Beograd, before moving to Red Star Belgrade on loan, with the transfer later made permanent for €2 million.[19] On 31 August 2026, Enem returned to Italy, joining Serie A club Bologna for a reported fee of €6 million.[20]
