Ghana stars Jordan Ayew have arrived at Kumasi as the team intensifies preparations for the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus has earned a nomination for the EA Sports Premier League Player of the Month for December 2023.
Demonstrating stellar performances, Kudus played a crucial role in West Ham United's successful month, securing four wins and a draw from six Premier League fixtures.
Kudus showcased his goal-scoring prowess by finding the net four times during these matches. His notable contributions included the opening goal in a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace, where he calmly finished inside the box after receiving a first-time pass from Vladimír Coufal.
In the 3-0 home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, Kudus scored twice, first breaking through on the counter-attack and later slotting home calmly after a well-timed through ball from Lucas Paquetá.
A week later, in the 2-0 win against Manchester United, Kudus secured three points with a fantastic right-footed effort from a Paquetá pass. The midfielder's performances have garnered recognition, placing him among the nominees for the December award.
Other contenders for the accolade include Dominic Solanke and Marcos Senesi of AFC Bournemouth, Cole Palmer from Chelsea, Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool, Matheus Cunha from Wolves, Michael Olise of Crystal Palace, and Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min.
Ghana is undoubtedly feeling a surge of optimism with the return of the talented defender, Mohammed Salisu.
As the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in Ivory Coast, Ghana finds itself in a position of defensive strength, thanks to the formidable presence of center-back Alexander Djiku.
Ghanaian international, Augustine Okrah has started training at his new club Young Africans SC after joining just couple of days ago.
Kudus Mohammed and Inaki Williams are expected to join the Black Stars camp by the close of today, January 4, ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
