Sam Amo-Ameyaw signs first professional contract
Southampton Football Club is delighted to announce that Sam Amo-Ameyaw has signed his first professional contract until 2026.
The young attacker, who only turned 17 earlier this month, has penned professional terms only a year after signing for the club from Tottenham Hotspur.
He enjoyed an impressive first season at Saints that started with positive displays for the Under-18s side and ended in the then-16-year-old becoming a key player for the title-winning Under-21s in Premier League 2.
After scoring a brace in the final PL2 game of the season that ultimately secured their title win, Amo-Ameyaw went on to make his senior debut on the final day of the Premier League season with an exciting late cameo against Liverpool.
On signing his new deal, the youngster said: "Coming into Southampton the first thing I wanted to do was try and work my way up as quickly as possible.
"Winning the league with B-team [Under-21s], it was a massive achievement for all of and then making my Premier League debut at 16, again a good achievement and I just want to push on now.
“The manager [Russell Martin] wants me to push on, stay in-and-around the first team if I can, get some game time. But keep pushing on and seeing what I can do.”
