Ghanaian football legend Michael Essien has heaped praise on West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus, predicting that he has the potential to become one of the world's best players.
In an interview with TalkSport, Essien said that he has high expectations of Kudus and is convinced that he will soon dominate football.
"I rate him very highly, and he's got everything to be at the top. He is a good footballer, and he has everything to go to the top," Essien said. The Chelsea legend believes that Kudus has the skill set to excel at the highest level and is destined for greatness.
Kudus has been in the spotlight recently following a series of responses to social media users who criticized his performance in Ghana's 2026 World Cup qualifier against the Central African Republic.
The midfielder faced backlash from some Ghanaians who were unhappy with his display and demanded more from him.
Despite the criticism, Essien remains convinced that Kudus has the potential to become one of the world's best players.
