1. Overview
Quincy Anton Promes, born on January 4, 1992, is a Dutch professional footballer who primarily plays as a winger or forward. His career has spanned across several top European clubs, including FC Twente, Spartak Moscow, Sevilla FC, and AFC Ajax. Promes achieved significant success in Russia, winning the Russian Premier League and Russian Cup with Spartak Moscow, where he also became the club's all-time top foreign scorer in the Russian Premier League. He has represented the Netherlands at various youth levels and for the senior national team, participating in tournaments like UEFA Euro 2020. Promes is known for his speed, technique, and versatility on the field. However, his career has been significantly impacted by ongoing legal issues, including convictions for aggravated assault and drug trafficking, which have led to his exclusion from the Dutch national team and complications regarding his ability to travel internationally. He currently plays for Dubai United in the UAE First Division League.
2. Early Life and Background
Quincy Promes's formative years were spent in Amsterdam, where his passion for football began at a very young age. His family background, rooted in Suriname, played a significant role in his upbringing and early career.
2.1. Childhood and Education
Born in Amsterdam, Promes started playing football at RKSV DCG before joining the renowned AFC Ajax academy. However, at the age of 16, he was released by Ajax, a moment he described as the "worst days of my career" when his "world collapsed." He later admitted that his departure was due to his own bad behavior, both on and off the pitch. This setback led him to consider quitting football entirely, but his mother persuaded him to continue. Following this, he signed with HFC Haarlem and then moved to FC Twente in 2009, where he began his professional journey. As a child, Promes was deeply immersed in football, playing morning, afternoon, and evening, often leading to his mother scolding him for staying out late and neglecting his studies.
2.2. Family and Heritage
Promes comes from a humble family with Afro-Surinamese heritage. His father was a professional footballer in Suriname before moving to the Netherlands, where he continued to play amateur football. Promes's family are native residents of Suriname, a country in South America that was formerly a Dutch colony. This heritage connects him to other notable Dutch footballers of Surinamese descent, such as Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
3. Club Career
Quincy Promes's professional club career has seen him play for several clubs across the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain, marked by periods of significant success and a notable return to a former club.
3.1. FC Twente
After progressing through the academy, Promes signed his first professional contract with FC Twente in February 2011. He made his Eredivisie debut on April 11, 2012, as an 81st-minute substitute in a 2-2 draw against AZ Alkmaar. On May 3, 2012, he extended his contract until 2015. In the 2011-12 season, he made three appearances.
3.1.1. Loan to Go Ahead Eagles
On July 31, 2012, Promes joined Eerste Divisie side Go Ahead Eagles on loan for the 2012-13 season, seeking more first-team opportunities for his development. He debuted in the season's opening 2-0 win over Almere City. Two weeks later, on August 24, 2012, he scored his first goal and assisted two others in a 4-1 victory over FC Oss. He quickly became a regular starter, displacing Joran Pot and Sjoerd Overgoor in midfield, and earned the nickname "Promessi" among fans. He won the Bronze Bulls' Jupiler League Award in October 2012. Promes scored in the third round of the KNVB Cup against De Graafschap and twice against Excelsior. He also netted two goals in matches against FC Emmen and FC Volendam in November and December 2012, and again against FC Oss and Helmond Sport in February 2013. He scored twice more against Excelsior and once against Sparta Rotterdam in March 2013. Promes finished as the third leading scorer for Go Ahead Eagles with 13 goals and was named the league's biggest talent at the end of the year. During the promotion playoffs, he scored a brace against FC Dordrecht, helping his team advance, and scored again against VVV-Venlo. The club ultimately earned promotion back to the Eredivisie after 18 years.
3.1.2. Return to Twente
Following his successful loan spell, Promes returned to Twente for the 2013-14 season. He made his first appearance in a year in a 0-0 draw against RKC Waalwijk. On August 18, 2013, he scored his first Eredivisie goals in a 6-0 win over FC Utrecht, solidifying his place in the starting eleven. He went on a goal-scoring spree in November 2013, netting against NEC, PEC Zwolle, NAC Breda (twice), and Roda JC. However, he suffered a knee injury in November 2013, which sidelined him for the rest of the year. Despite this, his form earned him recognition as the best player in the league during the first half of the season. Upon his return from injury in January 2014, Promes scored against Heracles Almelo and later added two more goals against PSV Eindhoven and Utrecht. In March 2014, he signed a contract extension until 2017. Despite another injury during the season, Promes finished with 31 appearances and 11 goals in all competitions. Ahead of the 2014-15 season, he was linked with moves to clubs like Juventus and Valencia CF. He received a farewell sendoff from FC Twente fans on August 29, 2014, before his move to Russia.
3.2. Spartak Moscow (First Stint)
Promes's first spell at FC Spartak Moscow was highly successful, establishing him as a prolific goalscorer and a key player for the club.
3.2.1. 2014-15 season
On August 8, 2014, Promes transferred to Spartak Moscow for a reported fee of 15.00 M EUR. As part of the deal, Twente received 11.50 M EUR in compensation, with additional payments to both Twente and Go Ahead Eagles if Promes's performance exceeded expectations. He was given the number 24 shirt, following in the footsteps of his Amsterdam-born compatriot Quincy Owusu-Abeyie, who also played for Spartak. Promes debuted on August 14, 2014, in a 4-0 loss to FC Krasnodar. He quickly adapted to the Russian league, noting its suitability for his style of play. On September 14, 2014, he scored his first goals for the club in a 3-1 win over Torpedo Moscow. He formed a strong partnership with Roman Shirokov under manager Murat Yakin. He scored again in November against Arsenal Tula and a brace against Mordovia Saransk, earning him November's Player of the Month award. In April 2015, he scored twice against Mordovia Saransk and once against Rubin Kazan, leading to him being named April's Player of the Month. He added three more goals in the final five matches, including a brace against Amkar Perm. In his first season, Promes made 29 appearances and scored 13 goals, becoming the club's top scorer and earning the Golden Boar award for the first time.
3.2.2. 2015-16 season
Ahead of the 2015-16 season, Promes committed to staying at Spartak despite transfer rumors. He scored his first goals of the season with a brace in a 2-0 win over Krylia Sovetov Samara on August 9, 2015. Under new manager Dmitri Alenichev, Promes played attacking football and scored another brace against Amkar Perm on August 22, earning him August's Player of the Month. He scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over FC Rostov on September 13 and was named September's Player of the Month. On October 25, he scored twice in a 3-2 derby win against Dynamo Moscow. He continued to win Player of the Month awards for October and November. On December 4, he scored the quickest goal of the season in a 1-0 win over Krylia Sovetov Samara, bringing his tally to 10 goals. Despite further transfer speculation in January, he remained at the club but hinted he could not guarantee a long-term stay. He switched his shirt number from 24 to 10. He scored eight more goals, including a brace against Dynamo Moscow. Despite injuries, Promes made 32 appearances and scored 18 goals, making him the club's top scorer for the second consecutive time and earning his second Golden Boar award.
3.2.3. 2016-17 season
Before the 2016-17 season, Promes reiterated his desire to stay with Spartak despite interest from clubs like Inter Milan. In late August, he signed a new contract, extending his stay until 2021. He started the season strongly, scoring twice and assisting one goal in a 4-0 win over Arsenal Tula. On August 28, he scored his third goal of the season in a 2-0 win over Anzhi Makhachkala. On September 16, he scored another brace and assisted a goal in a 3-1 victory over FC Orenburg. Under new manager Massimo Carrera, Promes continued to excel in an attacking midfield role. However, he faced injuries and was sent off against Rubin Kazan in December. By the end of 2016, Promes finished second in the Russian Player of the Year award, behind Fyodor Smolov. After a one-match suspension, he scored four goals in four matches between March and April 2017, including against Lokomotiv Moscow, Orenburg, FC Ufa, and Zenit Saint Petersburg. Promes played a crucial role in Spartak winning the league for the first time since 2001, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win over Tom Tomsk on May 6, 2017, which confirmed their championship. He scored one more goal against Terek Grozny on May 17. Promes finished the season with 29 appearances and 12 goals in all competitions and was named the 2016-17 Player of the Season.
3.2.4. 2017-18 season
Ahead of the 2017-18 season, Promes stated he had no reason to leave Spartak. He scored the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Lokomotiv Moscow in the Russian Super Cup. Four days later, he scored in the league opener and again in a 2-2 draw against Dynamo Moscow. He started the season with five goals in eight appearances despite the team's poor league form. On September 9, 2017, he scored in his 100th appearance for the club, a 1-1 draw against Rubin Kazan, with manager Massimo Carrera praising him as an "outstanding" player. Promes scored twice in the Russian Cup against Kuban Krasnodar but suffered a hamstring injury that sidelined him for September. Upon his return on October 13, he scored twice and assisted two goals in a dominant 5-1 UEFA Champions League win over Sevilla, earning him UEFA's Man of the Match award. By the end of 2017, Promes had scored 15 goals in all competitions, including two against CSKA Moscow on December 12, and was named December's Player of the Month. On December 20, 2017, he was named Footballer of the Year in Russia. During the January transfer window, Spartak rejected a 25.00 M GBP bid from Southampton. On April 8, 2018, Promes scored a hat-trick against Anzhi Makhachkala, surpassing Welliton to become Spartak's most prolific foreign scorer in club history. In the final three matches of the season, he captained the team in the absence of Denis Glushakov. He finished the season with 38 appearances and 21 goals in all competitions, becoming the top scorer of the 2017-18 Russian Premier League with 15 goals.
3.2.5. 2018-19 season
In the 2018-19 season, Promes continued to be a first-team regular, playing in the left-wing position. On August 8, 2018, he scored his first goal of the season in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round against PAOK, though Spartak lost 3-2 and were eventually eliminated. A week later, on August 25, he scored his first league goal of the season in a 2-1 win over Dynamo Moscow, which proved to be his last appearance for the club in this stint. By the time of his departure, Promes had made 135 appearances and scored 66 goals during his initial four-year period at Spartak Moscow.
3.3. Sevilla
On August 31, 2018, Promes joined La Liga side Sevilla FC on a five-year deal. The transfer fee was reportedly 20.00 M EUR, making it Spartak Moscow's record sale. He made his debut on September 2, 2018, as an 87th-minute substitute in a 1-0 away defeat to Real Betis. During his brief tenure in Spain, Promes struggled to find his form, making 49 appearances across all competitions with three goals and nine assists.
3.4. Ajax
On June 24, 2019, Promes returned to Dutch football, signing a five-year deal with his boyhood club AFC Ajax. The basic transfer fee was 15.70 M EUR, potentially rising to 17.20 M EUR with add-ons. This made him the third most expensive player in Ajax's history, after Miralem Sulejmani and Daley Blind. Promes debuted for Ajax against PSV in the 2019 Johan Cruyff Shield on July 27, 2019, a match Ajax won 2-0. He quickly regained his form, scoring 8 goals in his first 12 league matches, including a hat-trick against Fortuna Sittard. He also scored two goals in the opening two matches of the Champions League group stage. On November 5, in a thrilling Champions League match against Chelsea, Promes caused an own goal from Tammy Abraham and scored himself, giving Ajax a 2-1 lead. Although Ajax extended their lead to 4-1, they were reduced to nine men, and Chelsea mounted a comeback to draw 4-4. Promes reunited with manager Erik ten Hag, who had previously coached him at Go Ahead Eagles. He wore the number 11 shirt, last used by Amin Younes.
3.5. Spartak Moscow (Second Stint)

He concluded the league season with 20 goals, three behind the top scorer Malcom. On July 1, 2024, Spartak announced that Promes's contract had expired and could not be renewed due to his legal circumstances, though the club expressed hope of re-signing him if his legal issues are resolved.
3.6. Dubai United
On September 4, 2024, Promes joined UAE First Division League club Dubai United.
4. International Career
Quincy Promes has represented the Netherlands at various levels, from youth teams to the senior national squad, before his international career was halted due to legal issues.
4.1. Youth Career
Promes was a regular presence in the Dutch youth national teams, showcasing his talent from an early age.
4.1.1. Netherlands U19
In March 2011, Promes received his first call-up to the Netherlands U19. He made his debut on March 24, 2011, starting in a 1-0 loss against Italy U19. He went on to make three appearances for the Netherlands U19 side.
4.1.2. Netherlands U20
In August 2012, Promes was called up to the Netherlands U20 squad. He debuted a month later on September 8, 2012, starting in a 2-1 loss against Turkey U21. On March 22, 2013, he scored his first Netherlands U20 goal in a 3-2 win over Serbia U21. He made four appearances and scored once for the Netherlands U20 team.
4.1.3. Netherlands U21
Promes was first called up by the Netherlands U21 in August 2013. He made his debut on August 14, 2013, playing 45 minutes as a second-half substitute in a 1-0 loss against Czech Republic U21. On October 10, 2013, he scored his first goals for the Netherlands U21 in a 6-0 win over Georgia U21. After being excluded from the 2014 FIFA World Cup squad, Promes scored a hat-trick on May 28, 2014, in a 6-1 victory over Scotland U21. He followed this with two more goals in a 3-1 win over Luxembourg U21. Overall, Promes made 10 appearances and scored 8 goals for the Netherlands U21 side.
4.2. Senior Career
In March 2014, Promes received his first call-up to the senior team. He made his debut on March 5, 2014, in a friendly match against France, which ended in a 2-0 loss. Promes expressed his happiness at making his national team debut. In May 2014, manager Louis van Gaal initially included Promes in the provisional 30-man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, but he did not make the final 23-man squad. He did not make another senior appearance until October 13, 2014, in a 2-0 loss against Iceland.

On June 6, 2019, Promes scored in extra time during the Nations League semi-final, securing a 3-1 victory for the Netherlands over England. In November 2021, after Dutch prosecutors announced that Promes would face a criminal trial, the national team stated that he would not be called up until his name was cleared. Consequently, he missed the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
5. Style of Play
Quincy Promes is known for his dynamic and attacking style of play, characterized by his speed, technical ability, and versatility across offensive positions.
Promes himself has described his playing style, stating, "I have speed and technique, so I can show a beautiful game, create moments and make fans happy. I like to play football, which the viewer would be pleased to watch." He is capable of playing as a winger, a forward, or an attacking midfielder, demonstrating flexibility in various offensive roles. Spartak Moscow's owner, Leonid Fedun, described Promes as a "very serious guy." Promes noted that he prefers to give instructions to his teammates rather than shouting at them. His prolific goal-scoring form at Spartak Moscow earned him high praise from club legends like Nikita Simonyan, the club's all-time top scorer, and Valeri Karpin. Promes was a fan favorite at Spartak, earning the nickname "Antokha" (АнтохаAntokhaRussian). He expressed gratitude to the club's supporters for their appreciation.
6. Personal Life
Quincy Promes's personal life reflects his upbringing in Amsterdam, his family values, and his views on social issues, alongside his interests outside of football.
Promes was born in Amsterdam to Afro-Surinamese parents. His father was a professional footballer in Suriname before playing amateur football in the Netherlands. Promes has described his childhood as being constantly engaged in football, often leading to his mother scolding him for neglecting his studies. Growing up, he idolized Ronaldinho and later Neymar.
Regarding racism in Russia, Promes stated in October 2015 that he had never personally experienced it in Russia. He criticized European television for focusing on negative aspects of Russia, asserting that the people there are generally open and friendly. He maintained that he never encountered racism from fans. In January 2017, he further elaborated, "In the end, we as people, are all the same. And we'll all die one day. Even those who consider themselves better than me because they have a different skin color." In response to a controversial tweet by Spartak Moscow in January 2018, which some deemed racist, Promes defended the club, stating he believed journalists had sensationalized the situation and that the term "chocolates" (used in the tweet) was "fully ok" to him.
Promes is married and has three children. His third child was born on May 8, 2017, shortly after Spartak Moscow secured the league championship. He resided in Moscow with his wife, children, mother, and brother. In 2023, he also became a resident of the United Arab Emirates. He is good friends with fellow Dutch footballer Memphis Depay, with whom he speaks daily. In June 2017, Promes and Depay participated in a freestyle rap during a musical tour. In addition to Dutch, Promes speaks English and some Russian. Upon joining Sevilla, he promised to learn Spanish, stating he had already learned a little. Promes has several tattoos, including the phrase "I believe in God" on his abdomen.
7. Criminal Proceedings and Controversies
Quincy Promes's career has been significantly overshadowed by a series of serious legal issues, including allegations of assault and drug trafficking, leading to convictions and international extradition challenges.
7.1. Allegations and Investigations
In December 2020, Promes was detained as a suspect in a stabbing incident that occurred in July of the same year. The victim was a relative of Promes, who allegedly got into an argument with him before the incident, sustaining severe knee injuries. Promes denied involvement, but in November 2021, Dutch prosecutors concluded that he should be prosecuted. Initially, the specific charge Promes faced was attempted murder. A trial date was set for March 30, 2022, but was postponed. No travel restrictions were imposed on Promes, but his assets in the Netherlands were temporarily confiscated. This allowed him to continue his football career.
Separately, on May 30, 2023, the Dutch prosecution service confirmed that they would prosecute Promes following a drug trafficking investigation. They alleged that he attempted to import over 1.3 t of cocaine through the Port of Antwerp in January 2020.
7.2. Trials and Convictions
On October 21, 2022, the court set March 3, 2023, as the new date for Promes's criminal trial. Promes did not appear for the trial, opting to remain in Russia, which does not have an extradition treaty with the Netherlands. Prosecutors requested a two-year prison sentence. On March 15, 2023, the trial was paused to assess the legality of key evidence: recordings of Promes discussing his role in the stabbing incident in a call with his father. The defense argued these recordings were inadmissible as the warrant to tap his phone was based on an unrelated drug trafficking investigation. Ultimately, the attempted murder charge was downgraded to aggravated assault. On June 19, 2023, Promes was found guilty of aggravated assault and sentenced to 18 months of imprisonment. His lawyer announced an appeal, and Spartak Moscow stated the decision would not take effect until the appeal process was complete.
For the drug trafficking case, a hearing was set for January 24, 2024, where the Dutch prosecution service demanded a nine-year prison term for Promes in absentia. On February 14, 2024, Promes was sentenced to 6 years in prison after being found guilty of drug trafficking. His lawyers have also announced their intention to appeal this verdict.
7.3. Arrests and Extradition Issues
Following his conviction for drug trafficking, Promes was placed on the international wanted list. However, the possibility of his extradition to the Netherlands is considered low, partly due to the absence of a bilateral legal assistance treaty between the Netherlands and Russia. Dutch prosecutors seized nine houses owned by Promes in Almere, Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Abcoude.
On February 29, 2024, Promes was detained at Al Maktoum International Airport in the United Arab Emirates on suspicion of leaving the scene of a traffic accident. He was returning to Russia from a mid-season training camp in the UAE. Spartak Moscow had to depart without him, causing him to miss a match against FC Zenit Saint Petersburg. He was released from custody the following day but was required to remain in the UAE until his court date for the minor charge, for which he was ultimately fined on March 12. On the same day, he was arrested again as the Netherlands issued an official extradition request for his other crimes. He was subsequently released under similar conditions, remaining in the UAE.
