Solomon Amankwa Sarpong is a spark of energy on the wing, the kind of player who makes fans lean forward when he gets the ball. At just 13, this Ghanaian youngster is already turning heads with his quick feet, fearless dribbling, and knack for slipping past defenders like they’re standing still. Whether he’s cutting inside to shoot with his right foot or sprinting down the flank to whip in a cross, Solomon plays with a joy that’s contagious.

He wears the #21 jersey with pride, but don’t let his age fool you—his understanding of the game runs deep. Coaches praise him for listening closely during drills and asking smart questions, like how to time his runs or when to pass instead of take on a defender. Off the ball, he’s always moving, finding pockets of space to keep opponents guessing.

Solomon’s still growing into his 170 cm frame, but what he lacks in size, he makes up for with agility and a low center of gravity. Off the pitch, he’s a quiet kid who loves watching old clips of Ghanaian legends, studying how they danced past tackles or set up goals. His dream? To play for the Black Stars one day and inspire kids in his hometown to chase their dreams, no matter how big.

“Solomon’s got that rare mix—raw talent and a willingness to learn. He’s not just playing; he’s figuring the game out as he goes.”
