Daniel Ebenezer Kwasi Agyei (born 1 June 1997) is an English footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League One club Crewe Alexandra.[3]
Career[]
Burnley[]
Agyei came through the ranks at AFC Wimbledon, scoring 35 goals for the club's under-21 team in the 2014–15 season to draw the attention of a host of top clubs, reportedly including West Ham United, Chelsea and Fulham.[4] Agyei eventually signed for Burnley on a long-term contract, initially to play for the club's development squad.[5]
After impressing for Burnley's development squad in the 2015–16 season and making his senior Burnley debut in a pre-season friendly against Bradford City, Agyei was made available for a loan move by manager Sean Dyche.[6] Coventry City beat off competition from several clubs in League One and the Championship to secure the loan signing of Agyei on a five-month loan deal.[7] Agyei was handed the number 9 shirt by Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray upon arrival at the Ricoh Arena.[8]
Agyei made his professional league debut against Bradford City on 20 August 2016, handing Coventry City the lead with his first goal in professional league football in a 3–1 defeat at Valley Parade.[9] He then scored his second goal of the season in a 2–0 home win against Rochdale.[10] In October 2016, he scored Coventry's fastest-ever goal at the Ricoh Arena after just 19.5 seconds in a 3–1 victory over Northampton Town in the EFL Trophy.[11] In January 2017, he returned to Burnley following the expiration of his loan, having made a total of 19 appearances and scored five goals for the Sky Blues.[12]
He made his Burnley debut on 12 March 2017, coming on in the 88th minute to replace Scott Arfield against Liverpool.[13]
On 31 August 2017, Agyei joined League One club Walsall on loan until January 2018.[14] He made a total of 21 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals, before returning to Burnley.[15]
On 18 January 2018, Agyei joined League One club Blackpool on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[16]
Oxford United[]
On 10 August 2019, Agyei joined League One club Oxford United on a three-year deal, with compensation to be paid to Burnley, after turning down a new contract at the Premier League club.[3] He made his first-team debut in an EFL Trophy group-stage victory over Norwich City U21 on 3 September 2019, and his league debut as a 78th-minute substitute[17] in a 0–0 draw away at Bolton Wanderers on 17 September.[18]
Crewe Alexandra[]
On 28 January 2022, Agyei joined Crewe Alexandra on an 18-month contract for an undisclosed fee,[19] and made his debut in Crewe's 1–0 league defeat at Gillingham on 1 February 2022.[20] He scored his first Crewe goal, a late consolation goal in a 4–1 defeat at Accrington Stanley, on 12 February 2022.[21]
