England defender, Aaron Creswell has heaped praises on Ghana international Mohammed Kudus.

The two players play together at West Ham United.

Speaking of his teammate, Aaron Creswell has described Mohammed Kudus as a top talent.

According to him, the world has not yet seen the best of the Black Stars poster boy.

‘I think he is a top talent and I think we haven’t seen the best of him yet. That goal he scored against Freiburg, I think he’s got plenty more of that,’ Aaron Creswell said.

Sharing some insights from training, the experienced defender said he cannot go near Mohammed Kudus.

He said the talented youngster is so strong, so quick, and so sharp.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Kudus’s magical solo goal against SC Freiburg in the Europa League has been voted goal of the month at West Ham.

West Ham superstar Mohammed Kudus has been advised to be wary of overtures from former Black Stars skipper Asamoah Gyan.

In a recent interview, Asamoah Gyan, who is Ghana’s all-time top scorer, believes several great players have heralded the Black Stars in recent years and it’s time for the team to be built around Kudus.

‘So far it is obvious, when I say it’s obvious, I mean you know, Mohammed Kudus,’ Gyan said in an interview with Asempa FM.

‘When I was coming up, we had Michael Essien, Stephen Appiah, Sulley Muntari and at a point it got to me. Players have come and gone. We had the Abedi Pele era, Stephen Appiah era, Michael Essien era and the Asamoah Gyan era and now it looks like it’s Kudus’ era.’

He also indirectly suggested Dede Ayew should make way for Kudus.

But Francisca Adjei, a politician believes Kudus should be careful of Asamoah Gyan.

She also advised Dede to keep ignoring Asamoah Gyan.

“I just love the way Dede Ayew constantly ignores Asamoah Gyan.

“Gyan’s hatred for Dede is so strong
that he can’t hide it anymore. He uses the least opportunity he gets, to indirectly abuse Dede.

“What at all did Dede do to Gyan?

“Mohammed Kudus shouldn’t allow Asomoah Gyan to use him against anyone. He should be far from Gyan.

Dede should continue to ignore him, he isn’t worth his response!” she wrote on social media.

Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has urged the Black Stars technical team to build the senior national team around Mohammed Kudus.

Gyan asserted that the West Ham United man is currently the best Ghanaian footballer and thus deserves to be the main man for the national team.

The Black Stars’ all-time goal scorer further noted that Ghana seemed to be in the Kudus era.

“It’s obvious. And if I say it’s obvious, you know it’s Mohammed Kudus,” he said on Asempa FM when asked who should the Black Stars be built around.

“Players have come and gone. There was the Abedi Pele era, the Stephen Appiah era, the Michael Essien era, the Sulley Muntari era, and the Asamoah Gyan era. I think for now it looks like it’s Kudus’. Because he is the only Ghanaian player performing in Europe and it is not just any league, it’s the Premier League,” he added.

According to Gyan, Kudus is not just Ghana’s best footballer right now, but also the best African footballer.

“He is not just the only Ghana, I think he is doing so
well in Africa. He is the only African player doing so well for now.”

Mohammed Kudus is having a scintillating debut season at West Ham United after joining the side from Ajax in 2023.

The 23-year-old has scored 12 goals and provided 5 assists in all competitions for the Hammers in 36 games.

Besides the goals and assists, Kudus has been exciting to watch as he is ranked as the best dribbler in the 2023/2024 Premier League.
