The most talented player to have transferred to FC Midtjylland from Edebei is Paul Onuachu, a very tall and strong forward. The new Peter Crouch as Sky Sports called him after FC Midtjyllands victory in Europa League over Manchester United in february 2016. FC Midtjylland is expecting a very big future transfer on Paul Onauchu.
The first player who transferred to FC Midtjylland was Ajilore Oluwafemi. The midfielder debuted for FC Midtjylland in 2004, and earned a permanent place in the starting line-up in the 2006–07 Superliga season. He plays the role of a defensive midfielder.
He was followed by strikers Adeshina Lawal and Justice John Erhenede, though they did not break into the FC Midtjylland starting line-up. In 2004, they both transferred to Vejle BK in the secondary Danish 1st Division.
