Kwadwo Asamoah was born on the 9th of December 1988. He is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays for Italian club Inter Milan and the Ghana national team. Mainly a left midfielder or left-back, he has also occasionally been employed as a central midfielder.
A dynamic, hardworking, energetic, versatile and tactically intelligent player, Asamoah is primarily known for his pace, strength, stamina, and his outstanding technical characteristics, as well as his ability to read the game; although he primarily serves as a ball-winner, these attributes allows him to be effective both offensively and defensively, and enables him to play in several positions along the pitch in defence or midfield. A predominantly left-footed player, with Juventus, Asamoah has usually been deployed as a full-back, wing-back, or wide-midfielder on the left flank, although he had previously also been used in the centre as a defensive, central, box-to-box, or offensive midfielder prior to joining the club, and even in the “mezzala” role. In addition to his physical and athletic attributes, he is a very agile footballer, with good vision and an ability to make attacking runs and get into good offensive positions from which he can create chances for teammates with through balls or deliveries into the area from the wing; he is also a neat passer, a powerful striker of the ball from distance, and a skilful dribbler. Despite his ability, Asamoah has often been sidelined through injury.
He began his professional career with Italian club Udinese in 2008; his consistent performances earned him a transfer to Juventus in 2012, where, with his energy, versatility, and technical skills, he played a key role in helping the club to six consecutive Serie A titles between 2013 and 2018, among other titles, although his appearances at the club were limited by injuries during his later seasons. He joined Inter in 2018. At international level, he has represented Ghana in four Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, and two FIFA World Cups.

In 2012, Kwadwo Asamoah got married to a very beautiful wife by the name Abena. They have been in marriage since 2012. The couple shares two cute children, Jason (son) and Jada Asamoah (daughter).
The family lives in Turin, Italy. Kwadwo has, however, been secretive about his family background and prefers to have a low profile. Nevertheless, his younger sibling, Gabriel Asamoah, once appeared on the headlines back in 2013 when he was in trials with Udinese Football Club.
Throwback to when Asamoah almost had a big fight with his wife when he was accused by a Germany-based Ghanaian lady, Ohemaa Glory that Asamoah has been making overtures at her.
According to Ohemaa who has been regularly sharing stunning photos on Instagram, the former Juventus man slid into her DM for her number and after she refused, he blocked her.
Asamoah replied to the claim saying that was it bad to ask for a number?
It caused havoc on social media as people wondered why a married man will be asking for a lady’s number on social media.
For many of them who jumped to Kwadwo Asamoah’s defense, Ohemaa Glory was only trying to tarnish the image of the footballer.
