The 22-year-old is extremely versatile, capable of operating as a right-winger, an attacking midfielder or even as a false nine. Last season, he impressed in the UEFA Champions League, netting four goals and providing a further two assists during the group stages.
A goal against Liverpool caught the eye of Gunners icon Thierry Henry. Speaking about Kudus’ finish against the Reds, Henry told CBS Sports “He came from the Academy Right to Dream from Ghana and he is living the dream.
“Take a bow son, what a finish from Kudus!” Another footballing legєɴԀ that has expressed his admiration for the talented playmaker is none other than Marco van Basten, who compared him to now-Manchester United winger Antony.
“I find Mohammed Kudus a much better football player than Antony,” Van Basten toldZiggo Sport.”Antony has his skills, but he is confused with the things he is trying to do.
“Kudus has much better technique and he knows what he is doing. Antony may be faster, but Kudus is smarter and more technical.
“He is much more of a footballer, you can place him anywhere on the pitch, an all-rounder for the team. In fact, I like him much better than Antony. He’s more fun to watch play.”
