Career

Southampton

Amo-Ameyaw joined Southampton from Tottenham Hotspur in August 2022 as a sixteen-year-old, having reportedly turned down the offer of a scholarship contract with Spurs. [4] Compensation payments owed to Spurs by Southampton were reported to be close to a million pounds for Amo-Ameyaw and his teammate Jayden Meghoma, who made the same journey. [5] Commenting on the decision, Amo-Ameyaw said that he chose Southampton because of the clearer pathway to the first-team. [6] He was part of the Southampton under-18 side which reached the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup in April 2023. [7]

Amo-Ameyaw made his Premier League debut on 28 May 2023 appearing as a second-half substitute for James Ward-Prowse as Southampton played a home match with Liverpool, which finished 4–4. [8] At 16 years and 314 days, Amo-Ameyaw became the youngest-ever player to appear in the Premier League for Southampton. [9] On 24 July 2023, Southampton announced Amo-Ameyaw had signed his first professional contract. [10]

He scored his first goal for the club on 28 August 2024 in a 3–5 away victory against Cardiff City in the EFL Cup. [11]

Strasbourg

On 3 February 2025, Amo-Ameyaw joined Ligue 1 side Strasbourg on loan for the remainder of the 2024–25 season, with an obligation to buy at the end of the season. [12] On 26 June 2025, Strasbourg announced that the purchase option was exercised. [13]

International career

Born in England, Amo-Ameyaw is of Ghanaian descent. [14] He has represented England at under-16 and under-17 level. [15] He scored his first goal for the under-16 team in a 3–2 home victory against Belgium under-16s on 4 November 2021. [16]

On 6 September 2023, Amo-Ameyaw made his England under-18 debut during a 2–0 defeat to France in Limoges. [17]

In November 2023, Amo-Ameyaw was named in the England squad for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup and scored in their opening group stage game against New Caledonia. [18] [19]

On 4 September 2024, Amo-Ameyaw made his England U19 debut during a 2–2 draw with Italy in Croatia. [20]

Style of play

Described as being able to dribble with the ball "fluidly", Amo-Ameyaw was said to be adapting from a wider role in his first year at Southampton to a more central number 10 role. [21]
