Etonam-Nicole Anyomi (born 10 February 2000) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for Frauen-Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt and the Germany national team.

Club career

Anyomi started her career in the youth team at SuS Krefeld and moved via Borussia Mönchengladbach to the B youth team at SGS Essen in the summer of 2014, for which she played in the B junior Bundesliga.[2] In the summer of 2016, the striker was promoted to the Essen Bundesliga squad and was in the professional squad for the first time on September 11, 2016 against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. On October 15, 2016, Anyomi made her Bundesliga debut against 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam after coming on as a substitute for Kozue Ando.

In January 2020, she extended her contract with SGS Essen.[3] During the 2019/20 DFB Cup final against VfL Wolfsburg, Anyomi suffered a fractured coccyx and was absent from SGS Essen for a long time.[4]

Anyomi signed with Eintracht Frankfurt for the 2021/22 season. She signed a three-year contract until June 30, 2024.[5]

International career

Anyomi was first invited to a screening course for the U15 national team in September 2014 and made her debut in the national jersey on October 28, 2014 in the 13-0 win in a friendly against Scotland, where she scored the third goal. After making her debut for the U16 national team in September 2015, she took second place at the Nordic Cup with this national team in the summer of 2016 . At the end of September 2016, she played her first game for the U17 national team as part of a four-nation tournament against Romania.

She was called up to the senior national team squad for the first time for a game against England, which was scheduled to take place on October 27, 2020.[6]  However, the game was canceled at short notice by the English association due to a positive corona test by a member of the support staff.[7]  On February 21, 2021, she came on as a substitute for Klara Bühl in the 61st minute of the friendly match against Belgium for her first senior international match. The home game finished as a 2–0 win for Germany.[8]

National coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg had named Anyomi in the squad for the Euro 2022.[9] She scored her first international goal on 16 July 2022, in Germany's 3–0 group stage win over Finland.[10] The German team reached the final, but lost to England and became European runners-up. Anyomi played in two games.

Anyomi was called back into the squad for the 2023 World Cup and played in all three games before Germany was eliminated in the preliminary round.[11]

Personal life

Anyomi was born in Krefeld to a Ghanaian mother and a Togolese father.[12]
