Yem grew up in the Nigerian GBS Academy. Kingsley Madu, Moses Simon, Hilary Gong and Samuel Kalu also came from the same football school in the past. It´s interesting that the twenty-one-year-old Nigerian is returning to a club where he played as a teenager. However, he did not stay in Gent at that time, but finally returned there.
He played twenty-four league matches in the past season and eight matches in the UEFA European League.
