Antwi progressed through Chelsea's youth teams at Cobham and made his first-team debut in a Conference League game against Copenhagen in March 2025.

If Antwi makes his senior debut for Sweden, he will no longer be eligible to represent England or Ghana. Antwi played for England at under-16 level and his parents were born in Ghana. He will become the second Chelsea player to represent Sweden if he makes his debut, following retired goalkeeper Magnus Hedman.
