Club career



Roma


Born in Sunyani, Ghana,[1] Afena-Gyan moved to Serie A side Roma's youth team on 13 March 2021, from EurAfrica FC.[2][3]

Afena-Gyan was first called up to the senior team on 24 October, in Roma's Serie A game against Napoli.[4] He made his professional debut on 27 October, against Cagliari.[5][6] On 21 November, he came off the bench to score two late goals against Genoa, to give Roma a 2–0 win.[7][8] The brace made him the first player born in 2003 to score in the Serie A.[9] At the end of his first professional season, the Ghanaian striker played a total amount of 22 games for the Italian side, having also contributed (with three appearances) to their final victory in the opening edition of the UEFA Europa Conference League.[10]

On 6 July 2022, he officially renewed his contract with Roma until 2026.[11]


Cremonese

International career


On 4 November 2021, Afena-Gyan received his first call-up by the Ghana national team.[13] However, he turned down the invitation for the Black Stars for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and South Africa.[14] He revealed in an interview with Italian journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio that he felt the call-up was too early and that he wanted to concentrate on developing under José Mourinho at club level before accepting a call-up.[15]

He debuted with Ghana in a 0–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification tie with Nigeria on 25 March 2022.[16]

On 1 June 2022, Afena-Gyan scored his first international goal, as he contributed to the Black Stars' 3–0 win against Madagascar in the first match of the qualifiers to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations: in the same occasion, he also provided the assist for Mohammed Kudus' opening goal.[17]


Style of play


Afena-Gyan is a quick striker who is able to play in different attacking positions.[1][18]


Personal life


In February 2022, Afena-Gyan signed a sponsorship deal with German sportswear and equipment supplier Puma.[19]
