England-born attacker of Ghanaian descent, Samuel Amo-Ameyaw, has expressed his excitement after netting his first senior goal for Southampton on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, to help the side beat Cardiff City 5-3.

The 18-year-old forward started for the English Premier League club in the game against the lower-tier outfit in Round 64 of the England EFL Cup.

“It feels amazing. Obviously, it's great to get the win and obviously get my first senior goal. So yeah, it feels amazing. I hit it and I hit it well and it felt nice to see it go in.

“It wasn’t easy but we pushed and it ended well. It was really good for us. That goal gives me a lot of confidence and hopefully, I can do more,” Samuel Amo-Ameyaw said.
