Emmanuel Addoquaye Lomotey (born 19 December 1997) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Cypriot club Ethnikos Achna, on loan from Allsvenskan club Malmö FF.

Club career[edit]

Dreams FC[edit]

Lomotey was born in Accra, Ghana. He finished his formation with Dreams FC. He made his professional – and Ghana Premier League – debut on 21 February 2016, starting in a 1–0 away win against Cape Coast Ebusua Dwarfs.

Lomotey scored his first professional goal on 12 March 2016, netting the opener in a 1–1 home draw against Wa All Stars FC.[2] He suffered relegation in his first season, but achieved immediate promotion from Ghana Division One in his second by contributing with ten goals in 24 appearances.[3]

Extremadura UD[edit]

On 30 August 2017, Lomotey moved abroad after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Segunda División B side Extremadura UD.[3] Initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera División,[4] he started to feature regularly for the first team from March 2018.

On 30 June 2018, Córdoba CF announced that Lomotey signed a three-year contract with the club, being initially assigned to the B-side also in the third division.[5] On 18 July, however, he was bought outright by Extremadura and was immediately loaned to Villarreal CF with a buyout clause.[6]

Amiens SC[edit]

In August 2020, Emmanuel moved to Amiens SC in Ligue 2 on a four-year deal.[7]

Malmö FF[edit]

In August 2022, Emmanuel moved to Malmö FF.[8]

On 12 July 2023, Lomotey signed for Cypriot First Division club Ethinkos Achna on a season-long loan deal.[9]

International career[edit]

On 25 May 2017, Lomotey made his international debut for Ghana, after coming on as a second-half substitute for Gideon Waja in a 1–1 non-FIFA friendly home draw against Benin.[10]
