Samuel Kweku Sarsah Amissah (born 7 March 2007) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Primeira Liga club Estoril Praia on loan from Fulham.

Club career

[edit]

Amissah came trough Brentford's Academy, which was disbanded in 2016, prompting a move to Fulham's youth setup.[1][2][3]

He was first called to the first team during the pre-season Premier League Summer Series in 2023, and came off the bench during a 2–0 loss to Aston Villa in Orlando.[4]

During the 2023–24 season he made his debut with Fulham's reserve,[1] in a 3–1 Premier League 2 loss to Leicester City on 29 September 2023.[5]

In May 2024, he signed his first professional contract with Fulham.[6]

He first appeared on the bench in an official senior game on 1 December 2024 during a 1–1 away draw against Tottenham.[7][8][9]

During the 2025–26 season, he started appearing more regularly on the first team bench,[1] but without coming on, mainly making headlines for the big clubs reported interested in signing him, with his contract at Fulham ending in the summer 2026.[10][11]

In July 2026, Amissah signed a new contract with Fulham until 2029, with the club holding the option to extend it by a further twelve months to 2030.[12]

On 30 August 2026, Amissah was loaned by Estoril Praia in the Portuguese top tier.[13]

International career

[edit]

Born in England, Amissah also has Ghanean origins.[1] He is a youth international for England, having played for the under-16 and under-17. With the later, along the likes of Ethan Nwaneri, Divine Mukasa or Mikey Moore, he was among the top performers in an English side that reached the quarter-finals at the 2024 Euro, suffering a penalty shootout exit against future winner Italy.[1][9]

He then went on to establish himself as a regular with the under-18[9][14] and under-19 English teams.[1][15]
