Popular Quotes About Kudus: 🗣🗣
Marco Van Basten, former AC Milan and Ajax player: "I really think Kudus is a better player than Antony. I think Kudus is a better footballer. He's more fun to play with. Antony had moves, but he could be so muddled, you know. Kudus has a lot more technique. He knows where he's going. He's much more of a footballer and an all-rounder for the team.”
Van der Vaart, former Spurs player: “Kudus everything a footballer needs in his position. Strength, speed, this is the best player Ajax has. And he is now picked by Johnny Heitinga. That makes me happy, and I think it makes everyone happy.”
John Barnes, Former Liverpool Player: “He's young, he's dynamic, he's direct and he plays the same way as Mo. Even Mohamed Salah says he won't be here in three years, so Kudus could play that role.”
John Heitinga, then head coach of Ajax: “Mo has exceptional qualities and it is up to us to use them. He is unusually strong, and good in small spaces and in one-on-one situations. He can go past players, he can produce assists, he can score goals. And good luck trying to get the ball off him as well.”
Marc Overmars, Ajax's then director of football affairs: “This is my best purchase ever. He is going to be a €100m player”.

Ready to Take Centre Stage: 👏👏
Mohammed Kudus started making noise in the football world before he joined West Ham and crashed into the English Premier League with a bang. It was at Ajax he netted twice in a UEFA Champions League game against Liverpool while playing as a false nine.
This season Kudus completed the most dribbles (142) among Europe’s top seven leagues, the most dribbles in the EPL (124), the most shot-creating actions after completing a dribble in the EPL (25), the second most duels won in the top seven European leagues (297), and the second most ground duels won (264) in Europe’s top five leagues.
Now, with the youngster having announced his intentions to take centre stage at the biggest league in the world, the EPL, last season, with his eight (8) goals and six (6) assists, some of which came against the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle, it’s time to claim the status as Africa’s next big star.
While he will just be heading into his second season with West Ham, his performances for the Irons means he could very soon leave for a big club with a big money move as many top clubs watch this star boy on his journey to become Africa’s next big star after Drogba and Eto’o.
