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. 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. Commenting on the decision, Amo-Ameyaw said he choose Southampton because of the clearer pathway to the first-team. He was part of the Southampton under-18 side which reached the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup in April 2023.
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. At 16 years and 314 days, Amo-Ameyaw became the youngest-ever player to appear in the Premier League for Southampton.
On 24 July 2023, Southampton announced Amo-Ameyaw had signed his first professional contract.
International career
Born in England, Amo-Ameyaw is of Ghanaian descent. He has represented England at under-16 and under-17 level. He scored his first goal for the under-16 team in a 3–2 home victory against Belgium under-16s on 4 November 2021.
On 6 September 2023, Amo-Ameyaw made his England under-18 debut during a 2–0 defeat to France in Limoges.
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.
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.
