Ghanaian football star Mohammed Kudus has made his arrival in Ghana, strengthening the Black Stars' lineup for the impending 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The former Ajax player, renowned for his skillful play, is expected to provide a significant boost to the national team's performance in the continental tournament.
While Kudus won't be available for the pre-AFCON friendly against Namibia on Monday, January 8, 2023, due to ongoing recovery from a minor injury, his presence in Ghana brings positive developments for coach Chris Hughton and the team.
Hughton, recognizing Kudus' valuable contributions, welcomes the midfielder's return, adding depth and talent to the Black Stars' attacking prowess.
With Ghana eyeing their fifth AFCON title, the addition of Kudus to the squad adds a layer of skill and experience, crucial for navigating the challenges posed by Group B, where they will face formidable opponents in record-winners Egypt, Mozambique, and Cape Verde.
The 2023 AFCON tournament is scheduled to kick off on Saturday, January 13, running through February 11, 2024, with matches hosted in neighbouring Ivory Coast.
Despite missing the last edition, Kudus is eager to make his debut in this upcoming tournament, aiming to translate his impressive form at West Ham United to the national team.
