Born in Helmond, Netherlands, to a Tunisian father and Dutch mother, Omar Rekik followed his older brother Karim through elite youth academies including Feyenoord, Manchester City, PSV and Marseille before joining Arsenal in 2021. Senior minutes proved hard to come by in England, sending him out on loans to Sparta Rotterdam, Wigan and Servette, and he now plays for Slovenian side Maribor. He chose Tunisia over the Netherlands at senior level and is a squad option in defence.
- Brother of fellow professional Karim Rekik
- Came through the Arsenal academy but never played a Premier League game
- Represented the Netherlands at youth level before choosing Tunisia
