What’s next for Amartey?

Currently unattached, the three-time AFCON participant is in Ghana as he searches for his next club.

According to Transfermarkt, his last competitive appearance came in March 2024, playing 45 minutes in Beşiktaş’s 2-1 loss to Antalyaspor.

Amartey was heavily linked with a move to Scottish champions Celtic during the previous summer transfer window, but negotiations fell through, per Ghanaweb.

With his experience and defensive versatility, he remains an attractive prospect for clubs seeking reinforcement at the back.

While his next destination remains uncertain, one thing is clear—his roots in Teshie will always be a part of his story.
