Don-Angelo Christoffel Annum-Assamoah Konadu (born 3 May 2006) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Eredivisie club Ajax.
Club career
Konadu was born in Amsterdam and began his youth career at local amateur clubs CTO '70 and Zeeburgia. In 2014, he was recruited into the youth academy of Ajax. He progressed through the youth ranks and signed his first professional contract with the club on his 17th birthday, 3 May 2023, committing to Ajax until 2025.[2]
Ahead of the 2024–25 season, Konadu was promoted to Jong Ajax, the club's professional second team competing in the Eerste Divisie. Following a successful integration into professional football, he extended his contract with the club on 28 October 2024, signing a new deal running until 2028.[3]
On 23 February 2025, Konadu made his senior professional debut for the Ajax first team, appearing as a substitute in a 2–0 Eredivisie victory over Go Ahead Eagles.[4] The following month, on 13 March 2025, he made his European debut, starting in a UEFA Europa League fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt.[5]
During the 2025–26 season, he scored his first senior goal for Ajax on 17 December 2025 in a 7–2 KNVB Cup victory over Excelsior Maassluis.[6] In the second half of the season, to address a shortage of available strikers, newly appointed manager Óscar García handed Konadu a start in the Eredivisie match against Sparta Rotterdam.[7]
International career
Born in the Netherlands, Konadu is of Ghanaian descent and holds dual citizenship.[2]
He is a youth international for the Netherlands. After representing the Netherlands U18s, he was called up to the Netherlands U19 squad for their 2025 European Championship qualification campaign.[8] In the summer of 2025, Konadu was part of the squad that won the European Under-19 Championship in Romania.[9] Following the tournament, he was promoted to the Netherlands U21s.
