From Mohammed Kudus to Ernest Nuamah, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Ibrahim Osman, the Danish club has built a reputation as the conveyor belt of explosive attacking talent for Ghana.
The latest gem off that line is Prince Amoako, and he may just be the next big thing.
At only 18 years old, Amoako has already started the 2025/26 season in frightening form, scoring four goals and providing one assist in his first eight league games.
Finally, a left winger
That kind of output is impressive enough for a teenager, but what makes his rise particularly exciting for Ghanaians is where he thrives, and that’s on the left wing.
For years, the Black Stars’ forward line has felt tilted. Kudus, Nuamah, Joseph Paintsil, Fatawu Issahaku, Inaki Williams, and Antoine Semenyo - all of them are most comfortable attacking from the right.
Even Christopher Bonsu Baah, another prospect, prefers that flank. On the left, however, options have been thin, usually falling to Sulemana or Osman. Amoako’s emergence could finally provide balance.
What makes him different is not just his position but his profile. He isn’t a chalk-on-the-boots winger, instead, he drifts into central areas, turning into a direct goal threat.
A shot magnet
His instincts are closer to a second striker than a traditional wide player. That is reflected in his numbers as he’s managed 9.1 touches in the penalty box per 90 minutes, one of the highest in the Danish Superliga.
He also ranks third in the league for total shots and second for shots on target, proof of both his relentlessness and efficiency in front of goal. Amoako is not just creating danger, but he is finishing it
For a Ghana side often accused of lacking cutting edge in the final third, this profile is exactly what has been missing. A left-sided forward who doesn’t just stretch the pitch but actively attacks the box is a rare commodity.
It’s why Amoako’s trajectory is being followed so closely by Black Stars fans already dreaming of the next Kudus-like breakout.
A huge future ahead
But while the hype is justified, perspective is important. This is still Amoako’s first full professional season.
At 18, he has a long way to go in his development, and the learning curve will be steep. The Black Stars’ attacking depth means there is no rush with Kudus, Nuamah, Sulemana, Bonsu Baah, Paintsil, Jordan Ayew, Semenyo, Williams and Fatawu already competing fiercely for minutes.
For Amoako, the key will be consistency, patience, and the hunger to improve. His time will come.
Still, the signs are clear. Prince Amoako is no ordinary teenager. If he continues on this path, he could soon provide Ghana with what they have craved for years: a genuine left-wing match-winner.
