The Netherland-born spent the 2021–2022 season on loan with Venezia FC but as a result of placing last in the league standings, Venezia FC was demoted.
He featured in 19 Serie A games with Venezia and one Copa Italia game and has also made 11 appearances for the Nigerian Super Eagles, including one at the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Ebuehi struggled with injuries throughout his professional career, though Benfica B thought the Nigerian would be a rising star right away.
He has also been on loan to FC Twente for a while before his transfer to Empoli for almost €2 million.
