Who is Mohammed Kudus?
Mohammed Kudus, a Ghanaian professional football player who was born on August 2, 2000, plays attacking midfield for Eredivisie club Ajax as well as the Ghanaian national team. The 22 years old youngster measures 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in).
Kudus is typically used as an attacking midfielder and is a technical genius with great dribbling and goal-scoring skills. At the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana, Kudus began his professional career before moving to Europe and signing with FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark in 2018. As a player for Nordsjaelland, he shown his talent and attracted the attention of bigger clubs.
Mohammed Kudus made a significant transfer to AFC Ajax, one of the biggest football teams in the Netherlands and Europe, in July 2020. Due to Ajax’s reputation for developing young players, Kudus was seen as a promising addition to the squad. Arsenal and Brighton are both interested in Kudus. The Eredivisie team signed the Ghanaian international in 2020 for £8 million after he made an impression when playing for his former team FC Nordsjaelland. He will initially struggle to integrate into the team in Amsterdam after Anthony left to join Manchester United in 2022.
With 11 goals in 30 league games the year before, Kudus was second in line, but after the Brazilian left, he took charge of the Dutch squad. He was essential to Ajax’s Champions League triumph the season before as well, tallying goals in four of his six games, including most famously against Liverpool at Anfield.
Ghanaian international, who excelled in the Champions League last season, is expected to fetch £40 million from Ajax.
