Jeffrey Nana Darko Sarpong (/sɑːrˈpɒŋ/ sar-PONG-G) (born 3 August 1988 in Amsterdam) is a Ghanaian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder, for Veria in the Greek Super League. He holds both a Ghanaian passport and a Dutch passport.
Sarpong joined AFC Ajax when he was just seven years of age, and signed his first contract in 2005. At the time Chelsea were interested in signing the player, but he decided to stay with Ajax.
He made his Dutch League debut on 5 February 2006 in the 3–2 away defeat against Feyenoord. Sarpong played in eight more league matches during the season. In addition he and his team won the KNVB Cup, but in the 2006–07 season he did not play a single league match. In July 2007, Sarpong extended his contract, which kept him until 2011. However, the following season he became first-team regular under new coach Marco van Basten netting his first goal in a 2–2 away draw against no other than Feyenoord. A week later, on 2 October 2008, he scored again, in the first round of UEFA Cup; second leg, against Borac Čačak.
