Speaking to Ajax's website, Mohammed Kudus says liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara is his childhood hero as he insists that he fell in love with his creativity.
"I loved his game as a child. I like creativity and fun playing. When I played in Denmark, a friend of mine arranged a shirt from him," he told the club's website.
"It was fantastic. The shirt is hanging at my home and I am very proud of it. Sometimes he plays on 'six' but then, despite his defensive duties, he doesn't lose his creativity.
"No matter where he plays, he always finds the balance between defending and attacking. That's how I want to play," he added.
