Patrick Nuamah

Patrick Amoako Nuamah (born 31 December 2005) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for club Brescia.

Club career
Born in Brescia to Ghanaian parents,  Nuamah started playing football in the youth sector of the city's local football team. At Brescia, he progressed through the youth ranks before signing his first professional contract with the club in July 2022, penning a three-year deal.

After being promoted to Brescia's first team in the same summer, under head coach Pep Clotet, Nuamah made his professional debut on 3 September 2022, coming in as a substitute for Stefano Moreo in the 83rd minute of a Serie B match against Perugia, which ended in a 2–1 win for his side. At 16 years and 243 days, he became the club's third youngest ever player, as well as the youngest player ever to feature in the Italian second-tier (a record that would be broken by Brayan Gjyla in August 2023).

International career
Nuamah can choose to represent either Italy or Ghana at international level.

Having previously took part in training camps with the Italian under-15 and under-16 national teams, he then went on to feature for the under-18 national team.

Style of play
Nuamah is a central midfielder, who mainly plays in the holding role, but can also act as a mezzala. Ambidextrous and composed on the ball, he has also been regarded for his passing prowess, his physique, his pace and his leadership skills.

He has pointed at Paul Pogba and Stephen Appiah as his biggest sources of inspiration.
