Mohammed Kudus

Ghana’s Mohammed Kudus is giving Ajax boss, Alfred Schreuder a good reason to rely on him as he scored once again in preseason.

Kudus, 21, scored for the third game in a row in preseason as Ajax beat Ukrainian giants, Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1 at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Playing as a false number 9, Kudus picked his spot to perfection and beat his marker with pace before smashing the ball into the back of the net with his right foot to ensure Ajax finished the game as victors.

Alfred Schreuder and his lads will begin the season with a crucial tie against rivals PSV for the Johan Cruyff Shield.

The Dutch Eredivisie will commence on August 6, 2022, with an away game against Fortuna Sittard.

Mohammed Kudus is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ajax in the Dutch Eredivisie.

Club career

Nordsjælland

Kudus arrived at Danish club Nordsjælland from the Ghanaian Right to Dream Academy, which he joined at the age of 12, in January 2018 together with two teammates, Ibrahim Sadiq and Gideon Mensah.

Kudus made his official debut for Nordsjælland only three days after his 18th birthday, in a 2–0 defeat against Brøndby IF. He played from the first minute as a striker but was replaced at half-time. With his debut, he became the ninth youngest to make his debut in the history of the club.
