Early life
Club career

Aliadière signed for Arsenal at the age of 16 before the beginning of the 1999–2000 season. He made his Premier League debut for Arsenal against Fulham in the 2001–02 season, replacing Thierry Henry in a 4–1 victory. That game was his only league appearance that season, meaning he was not eligible for a medal as Arsenal won the 2001–02 FA Premier League.{{Soccerbase season|28839|2001|name=Jeremie Aliadiere|access-date=17 November 2013}} He scored his first goal for the club the following season, in a 5–2 victory over West Bromwich Albion on 27 August 2002.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/2216506.stm | title=Slick Arsenal crush Baggies | publisher=BBC Sport | date=27 August 2002 |access-date=31 August 2009}}
In the 2003–04 season, Aliadière was mainly played in the 2003–04 League Cup rather than the league, scoring Arsenal's first League Cup goal of the season against Rotherham United. The match finished 1–1 after extra time, with Arsenal winning 9–8 on penalties.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/3204793.stm | title=Arsenal 1–1 Rotherham | publisher=BBC Sport | date=28 October 2003 |access-date=2 November 2009}} He also scored twice against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the following round of the League Cup,{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/3246940.stm | title=Arsenal youngsters thump Wolves | publisher=BBC Sport | date=2 December 2003 |access-date=2 November 2009}} his second winning goal for the month for December. In total, he scored four goals in the cup run, having also scored against West Brom in the quarter-finals, with Arsenal finally being eliminated by Middlesbrough in the semi-finals.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/3314305.stm | title=Arsenal outgun Baggies | publisher=BBC Sport | date=16 December 2003 |access-date=2 November 2009}} He was voted best young talent in the 2003–04 League Cup.[http://www.carlingcup.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/0,,11995~611622,00.html Rising Stars].

He also came on as a late substitute in Arsenal's 5–1 victory over Inter Milan in the San Siro. Seconds after coming on, he set up the fifth goal for Robert Pires.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2003/nov/26/match.championsleague

Aliadière missed much of the following 2004–05 season after picking up an injury in the 2004 FA Community Shield,{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/sep/10/newsstory.sport8 |title=Aliadiere set for long spell out |publisher=Guardian |date=10 September 2004 |access-date=27 March 2020}} and was kept out of action until March.

==Loan to Celtic==
In the summer of 2005, Aliadière was sent on loan to Scottish club Celtic for the entire 2005–06 season in order to play regular first team football. Despite his limited appearances, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger had stated he had a future at Arsenal, despite being kept out of the side at the time by the form of Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp.{{cite news|title=Aliadiere signs on at Celtic Park|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/4625607.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=1 July 2005|access-date=25 November 2007}} In the end, his time at Celtic was forgettable; he made just two substitute appearances for the club, one in each leg of their loss to Artmedia Bratislava in the Champions League. He accused Celtic manager Gordon Strachan of not giving him a chance.{{cite news|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11685/2346045/|title=Aliadiere slams Strachan|publisher=Sky Sports|date=25 August 2005|access-date=19 March 2013}}
==Loan to West Ham United==
On 24 August 2005, Aliadière decided to move back to London after a lack of first team opportunities, where West Ham United took over his year-long loan deal, having been promoted back to the Premier League after two seasons in the lower leagues.{{cite web|title=Aliadiere leaves Celtic, joins Hammers on loan|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=340400&cc=5739|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120721025506/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=340400&cc=5739|url-status=dead|archive-date=21 July 2012|publisher=ESPN Soccernet|access-date=2 April 2012}} Once again affected by injury, he only made eight appearances for West Ham, seven as a substitute.{{cite web|title=Jeremy Aliadiere|url=http://www.westhamstats.info/westham.php?west=2&ham=819&united=Jeremie_Aliadiere|publisher=westhamstats.info|access-date=2 April 2012}}
==Loan to Wolverhampton Wanderers==
On 31 January 2006, West Ham terminated the loan, and Aliadière joined Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan for the remainder of the 2005–06 season. He scored two league goals for Wolves, in games against Hull City{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/4727024.stm | title=Hull 2–3 Wolves | publisher=BBC Sport | date=25 February 2006 | access-date=2 November 2009}} and Watford.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/4890832.stm | title=Wolves 1–1 Watford | publisher=BBC Sport | date=14 April 2006 | access-date=2 November 2009}}
==Return to Arsenal==
Aliadière returned to Arsenal during the 2006–07 season but was again mainly used in the League Cup, scoring both goals in their 2–0 win over West Brom on 24 October 2006.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/6072672.stm | title=West Brom 0–2 Arsenal | publisher=BBC Sport | date=24 October 2006 | access-date=2 November 2009}} His first Premier League appearance of the season came on 16 December 2006, a 2–2 draw against Portsmouth, with Aliadière playing for 55 minutes before being replaced by Emmanuel Adebayor.{{Cite web |title=Arsenal 2-2 Portsmouth |first=Phil |last=McNulty |publisher=BBC News |date=16 December 2006 |access-date=27 September 2018 |url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6164309.stm}} Continuing appearances in Arsenal's League Cup campaign saw him score in the quarter-final against Liverpool in a 6–3 victory, and in the second leg of the semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur, with Arsenal advancing with a 3–1 win.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/6236687.stm | title=Liverpool 3–6 Arsenal | publisher=BBC Sport | date=9 January 2007 | access-date=2 November 2009 | first=Sam | last=Lyon}}{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/6305313.stm | title=Arsenal 3–1 Tottenham (agg 5–3) | publisher=BBC Sport | date=31 January 2007 | access-date=2 November 2009 | first=Sam | last=Lyon}} Arsenal ultimately lost the final 2–1 to Chelsea, with Aliadière featuring for 80 minutes.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
With four appearances in Premier League matches during the season, as of 9 January 2007 he had played 37 times for Arsenal, 25 as a substitute, scoring nine goals, all but one coming in the League Cup, four against West Brom. In the January 2007 transfer window, Aliadière was linked with a move to the Premier League club Middlesbrough in North East England, after Wenger said he would be allowed to leave the club. The move, however, failed to happen after Robin van Persie broke his foot, and he was told to stay at Arsenal for the time being. He made his final Arsenal appearance on the final day of the 2006–07 season against Portsmouth in a 0–0 draw at Fratton Park.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

Aliadière got a red card and three match ban for slapping Javier Mascherano in a 23 February 2008 Premier League match against Liverpool, after Mascherano had raised his hands against him, in full view of the referee. It was the cause of controversy after Middlesbrough's consequent appeal was deemed as "frivolous" by The Football Association (FA) and extended by one more game, with the club's chairman and chief executive, and Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, deeming this unfair and criticising The FA, contrasting it with a recent appeal by Chelsea's Michael Essien.{{cite news | title = Lamb Slaughters FA | url = http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11680_3200633,00.html | publisher = Sky Sports | date = 27 February 2008 | access-date = 27 February 2008}}{{cite news | title = Gibson rages at FA over appeal | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/7263735.stm | publisher = BBC Sport | date = 28 February 2008 | access-date = 28 February 2008}}{{cite news | title = Harry Slams Appeals Process | url = http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11680_3210265,00.html | publisher = Sky Sports | date = 28 February 2008 | access-date = 28 February 2008}}
Before the start of the 2008–09 season, Aliadière switched to wearing the number 10, previously worn by midfielder Fábio Rochemback, when his number 11 was given to £3.2 million summer signing Marvin Emnes. He scored his first goal of the season in Middlesbrough's 5–1 home victory against Yeovil Town on 26 August 2008. His first Premier League goal of the season came in a 1–0 win against Wigan Athletic at the JJB Stadium on 4 October 2008, scoring in the 89th minute of the match. After a run of not scoring in his next ten matches, he again scored against his old club Arsenal, with a headed equaliser in a home 1–1 draw on 13 December 2008.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7763484.stm | title=Middlesbrough 1–1 Arsenal | publisher=BBC Sport | date=13 December 2008 | access-date=2 November 2009 | first=Phil | last=McNulty}} At the end of the season, Middlesbrough finished equal bottom of the Premier League with West Brom, on 32 points, and as a result were relegated to the Championship.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
On 12 September 2009, he came off the bench against Ipswich Town to score two goals after 30 minutes of being on the pitch, and scored another goal in the same week against Sheffield Wednesday. His next goal came on 26 December against Scunthorpe United, in his first start under new manager Gordon Strachan due to injury. Having failed to reach the play-offs, and after three injury hit seasons at Middlesbrough, he left the club on 30 June 2010 at the end of his contract having decided not to take up the option of extending his contract. In total, he made 86 appearances and scored 12 goals for the club.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/8664874.stm | title=Jeremie Aliadiere set for Middlesbrough exit – Strachan | publisher=BBC Sport | date=6 May 2010 | access-date=31 August 2010}} The 2010–11 pre-season found Aliadière training with West Ham with a view to a permanent move to the London club. The deal fell through when he damaged his knee ligaments playing in a reserve game against Crystal Palace. Subsequently, his old club Middlesbrough offered the player full use of their rehabilitation and training facilities in order to overcome the injury and regain full fitness.{{cite news | url=http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Jeremie-Aliadiere-salutes-former-club-Middlesbrough-for-helping-him-overcome-his-cruciate-knee-ligament-injury-he-suffered-at-West-Ham-article571837.html | title=Aliadiere salutes Middlesbrough after injury nightmare | publisher=Mirror Football | date=4 September 2010 | access-date=5 September 2010 }}
