Ghana midfielder Forson Amankwah says joining the English football scene has been a lifelong ambition realized.
The 22-year-old made the move from Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg to English Championship side Norwich City last summer.
In an interview with Flashscore, Amankwah reflected on his journey, describing his arrival in England as a dream come true.
He praised the Championship for its intensity and physicality, which he found markedly different from his experience in Austria.
“It was a great feeling to play in England. A lot of football players want to play in England. It was a great feeling,” he said.
“I would say the league is tough. Really physical and more intense. In Austria, it was also intense, but the physicality is different. It’s my first year, so I will get used to it,” the midfielder added.
One of Amankwah’s standout moments came in February during a match against Coventry City.
Coming off the bench, he scored a decisive goal that electrified the Carrow Road crowd and earned him a nomination for the club’s Goal of the Season.
“My best moment was when I came in to score the goals against Coventry. It was a great feeling because I had been injured and not playing games, so just to come in and win the game for the club was the best moment being here.
“I wasn’t surprised because I think the fans really loved that moment… It had been a long time since they had experienced such an atmosphere at the Carrow Road, and I was very proud.”
After featuring 21 times in his debut season, Amankwah is eager to play a more influential role for Norwich City in the coming campaign.
