Right WingerSpain17 years oldPlays for Granada CF
Owen Mira Chukwuemeka, known as Owen Emeka, is a right winger born on 18 April 2009. He plays for Granada CF and is in his first run with the senior squad after coming through the academy. Pacheta has given him consecutive starts in Segunda División and the Malagueño has responded with a goal and a clear role as an incisive wide threat.
Emeka plays with a visible cheek and confidence that reads older than his experience. He faces defenders with decision, drives at the line and looks for one-on-one situations without seeming afraid to make a mistake. The sources describe great power to unbalance, exquisite technique and an enviable physique, with a constant threat on the flank and repeated attempts to put the back line under pressure. Defensive work was a specific request from Pacheta and the winger has added tireless tracking to his attacking output. Individual talent shows up in tight spaces, as seen in a first-team goal built on a quick turn inside the area and a finish to the far corner.
The path runs through the Granada academy. He moved from CD 26 de Febrero Youth to Granada CF Youth in January 2024, stepped up to the U19 side in January 2025 and joined the first team in January 2026. With the juvenil División de Honor he was a pillar in a historic campaign that ended with the first group win and a Copa de Campeones qualification, falling in a controversial semi-final against Real Madrid. That season produced 22 matches and five goals, and he added twelve appearances with Recreativo Granada in Tercera RFEF. The senior breakthrough began with an official debut against Oviedo in the opening Segunda fixture, followed by a concussion and a quick return. Pacheta then trusted him from the start at Ipurua against Eibar and again against Albacete, where he scored his first goal for the side and became the second youngest scorer in club history.
