Club 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 £1 million deal 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 only 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]
