Immanuelson Duku (born 28 December 1992), also known as Manny Duku is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Cheltenham Town.

Club career

Born in Amsterdam, Duku started his career with Eredivisie side Heerenveen at the age of 18 in 2011, before enjoying spells in the lower leagues with Legmeervogels, Abcoude, Breukelen and VV Eemdijk. Eligible to represent Ghana at international level, Duku left for England to join Oxford City on a trial basis in 2015, despite not playing a minute of football for his new club, VV Eemdijk.[1]

Following his first pre-season in England, Duku opted to join Chesham United over Oxford and went onto only appear four times for the Buckinghamshire-based side before making the switch to Hemel Hempstead Town.[1] After just a sole appearance in an FA Trophy tie against Eastbourne Borough,[2] Duku went onto enjoy spells with Kings Langley and Banbury United before joining Southern League side Hayes & Yeading United prior to the 2017–18 campaign.[3]

On 26 July 2018, Duku agreed to deal to join League Two side Cheltenham Town on a two-year deal.[4] On the opening day of the 2018–19 campaign, he went onto make his Football League debut during Cheltenham's 1–0 home defeat to Crawley Town.[5] Duku joined Barnet on loan in October 2018 until the end of the calendar year.[6]
