The 19-year-old star has spent just 18 months in Sweden, but he has already made a big impression 

Former Golden Eaglets Akinkunmi Amoo narrowly missed out on the award for the best young player in the 2021 Swedish Allsvenskan season.

The Hammarby star lost to Veljko Birmancevic, who won the award after helping Malmo become champions.

Amoo would have been the second Nigerian after to win the award after Alhassan Yusuf, who won it while playing for IFK Goteborg.

The Hammarby academy product arrived from Nigerian amateur side FC Sido in June 2020, but it didn’t take him time to get into the first team as he got his chance just three months later.

Football Highlights

This season, he became an established player for the former Allsvenskan champions, making 29 league appearances out of a possible 30.

The 19-year-old did deliver, as he registered nine goals and five assists to help Hammarby to a fifth-place finish.

Amoo was part of the team that represented Nigeria at the 2019 U-17 World Cup in Brazil. He had three assists to his name in that competition.

However, while, Amoo missed out, another Nigerian was  recognised for his outstanding performance, as Norrkopings’ Samuel Adegbenro clinched the best striker award after scoring 17 goals and assisting two in 30 appearances.

    Rhor or new coach must recall Amoo to Super Eagles roster for African Cup in Cameroon; he is a dynamic, dribbler and genius player, he can also play as a left winger or a playmaker , because of his high pace toward the rival goal. He plays just like Austin Okocha and quicker than him more and more, so SE will benefit so much from his services.
