Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus has endeared himself to West Ham fans since his move from Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam, thanks to his thrilling unpredictability.
At the time of writing, Kudus has recorded a total of 39 club goals in 155 appearances across three clubs: Nordsjælland, Ajax, and West Ham.
Kudus was born in Nima, a suburb of Accra, Ghana's capital. The predominantly Muslim settlement might be poor in basic necessities.
It is a sharp contrast to a typical day in Ghana’s finest locations, requiring sheer determination to break from the shackles of a disadvantaged lifestyle. This is the starting point for one of Ghana’s emerging footballing talents tipped to etch his name in country’s football folklore.
The 24-year-old was raised in a devout religious home, and it is certain that his faith would have been relied on to carry through his testing childhood. But no matter what profession Kudus found himself in, he held only one true passion: football.
His talent was visible in his formative years. Little Kudus and his friends would gather on the grassless pitches to emulate the skills of the established footballers they watched on television. From rabona, backheels, elastico panenka, nutmegs to scooped passes. He always managed to replicate them either on the field or by playing keepy-uppy to and from school.
Kudus and his friends just enjoyed playing the game and were content with tips or being carried on shoulders as a reward for standout performance. That was about all the game had for them. It was during one of these days that his immense talent was spotted by a football enthusiast who facilitated his move to Strong Tower FC, an amateur club in Nima.
In one of Strong Tower FC's games, a scout from Right to Dream Academy, Ghana’s elite football academy, was scouting the area and noticed Kudus showcasing the best of his abilities. Impressed by what he was viewing, he signed him up for the club, citing the youngster’s immense perseverance and desire to keep the ball on the scorching surface.
The signing would now mean that Kudus would have the opening to show his skills on an actual football field with a moderately improved conditions and, more importantly, a chance to break into professional football.
