Mohamed Hassouni Daramy (born 7 January 2002) is a Danish professionalfootballer who plays as awinger orforward for FrenchLigue 1 clubReims and theDenmark national team.[2]
Daramy joinedCopenhagen fromHvidovre as a U14 player,[3] after reportedly having been linked also to rival Copenhagen sideBrøndby.[3] Already at the age of 15, Daramy rose to the title of topscorer of the U17 squad atF.C. Copenhagen, resulting in a three-year contract extension (October 2017 to 2020).[4] With a total 18 goals in 26 games during the 2017–18 season, Daramy became the fifth highest scoring player in that season's U17 league.[5]
At the age of 16 years and 263 days, Daramy became the youngest ever player to score for Copenhagen. The goal came in his official senior level debut for the club in aDanish Cup game againstViby IF.[6] Followed by critical acclaim, numorous high profiled clubs were rumoured of pursuing Daramys signature, with efforts of engaging the young player being led by GermanBundesliga sideRB Leipzig.[7] In spite of the growing interest, FC Copenhagen managed to keep Daramy on at the club, setting a price tag at €5 million as result of the competitor's woes. Amidst the transfer rumours, Daramy aired doubts about his determination of staying on as an FC Copenhagen player,[8] but ultimately decided to stay.
Following ongoing success in the Danish Capital, in March 2019 FC Copenhagen increased efforts to extend a more lucrative contract to Daramy, followed by an increasing offer size of about €5 million from an unknown outside club.[9] Daramy got hisDanish Superliga debut on 2 December 2018 againstAC Horsens, replacingDame N'Doye in the 77th minute,[10] and later that season, on 31 March 2019, Daramy scored his first goal in his native Superliga. Due to the absence of regular first choiceRobert Skov who was out with an injury, Daramy found himself included in the starting lineup and ultimately became the man of the match, scoring the only goal in the game.[11]
On 3 April 2019, Daramy officially signed his first professional contract with Copenhagen until the end of 2021.[12] Along with the contract extension, he was also permanently promoted to the first team squad.
On 22 August 2021,AFC Ajax announced that they had closed a €12 million deal with an add-on bonus of €1 million with Copenhagen for the transfer of Daramy.[13] However, the move to the Dutch side proved difficult, as Daramy struggled to retain a regular position on the first team. On 3 August 2022, Daramy returned toCopenhagen on a season-long loan, once again proving his talent and skill, and earning a vital role as his Danish team claimed the championship of the 2022/2023 Superliga season after a close finishing race with Greater Copenhagen side,FC Nordsjælland.[14]
On 11 August 2023, Daramy moved toReims in France on a five-year contract.[15] On 20 August, Daramy came on as a substitute and scored a goal in a 2–0 win againstClermont on his debut.[16]
Daramy made his debut forDenmark national team on 1 September 2021 in a2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Scotland, replacingAndreas Skov Olsen in the 85th minute.[17]
FormerSchalke 04 striker andDenmark internationalEbbe Sand, described Daramy as a player who is fast, strong in "one-on-one situations" and as "extremely talented".[18]
Daramy hasSierra Leonean nationality, because both hisOku parents are fromSierra Leone.[3] In December 2018, he revealed that he had applied forDanish nationality and would like to play for the Danish national team. He became a Danish citizen in January 2020.[19]
