By Ghana’s Mohammed Kudus reveals his aspiration to persuade European agents and scouts that Africa harbors talents superior to him.
The 23-year-old shares that he endeavors to convey this message through his on-field performances and his conduct off the pitch.
Since his debut for the Black Stars in 2019 and subsequent moves to Ajax and Premier League club West Ham United last summer, Kudus has emerged as an inspiration for numerous youngsters in Ghana.
“All the guys that have been here as African players have paved the way for us to get the opportunity to get here,” he said in an EA Uncut interview posted on the Premier League’s YouTube channel.
“So my main goal and responsibility is also to keep putting light on where I’m from and then making scouts and agents believe that there are even more players better than me from Africa.
“Performing well comes with a responsibility but I see it as a blessing, you know, to be able to also pave way for other guys coming from Africa to get the opportunity.”
Alongside his remarkable performances, he has netted 13 goals across all competitions. Among these, seven were in the Premier League, where he has appeared in 31 matches.
Moreover, Kudus has scored five goals in nine Europa League games, and one goal in three EFL Cup matches.
