Southampton

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]
