Playing in England is a dream come true, says Ghana midfielder Forson Amankwah

Ghana midfielder Forson Amankwah says playing in England is a long-time dream which has been fulfilled. 

The 22-year-old made a move from Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg last summer to join English Championship side Norwich City.

Speaking to Flashscore, Amankwah said he had long dreamed of playing in England, and the Championship lived up to its reputation.

“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.

Amankwah’s standout moment came in February against Coventry City. Coming off the bench, he scored a decisive goal that sent Carrow Road into raptures, later earning 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 playing 21 times in his debut season, Amankwah will hope to play a bigger part of Norwich City's season.
