Kwado Twum Boafo, a member of the Ghana National Democratic Congress, has lauded Mohammed Kudus, likening him to a footballing icon in the form of Abedi Pele.
Boafo expressed his belief that Kudus stands out as the most promising talent for the Black Stars since the days of Abedi Pele, the legendary Ghanaian footballer.
Mohammed Kudus, who made a high-profile move from Ajax Amsterdam to West Ham United during the summer transfer window, has been gradually making his mark in David Moyes’ starting lineup.
Boasting versatility and a multifunctional playing style, the 23-year-old midfielder has faced the challenge of securing a regular place in the West Ham lineup.
For Boafo, Kudus’ unique attributes, particularly his aggression on the field, set him apart from other Ghanaian talents.
In an interview with GhanaWeb, Boafo shared his perspective on Kudus, stating, “I don’t want to sound controversial and disrespect other talents, but I don’t think we’ve had better players for the Black Stars since Abedi Pele.
He has more verve, more aggression, and more will to succeed than others. Talent isn’t everything. Kudus is aggressive, and that is the secret of his success.”
Emphasizing Kudus’ impact, Boafo highlighted the anticipation and speculation surrounding the player whenever he entered the field.
The ability to consistently succeed, even when faced with competition, has solidified Kudus’ reputation as a rising star within the Ghanaian football scene.
As Kudus continues to navigate his career with West Ham United, the comparisons to Abedi Pele underscore the high expectations and excitement surrounding his contributions to the Black Stars.
The acknowledgment from Boafo adds to the growing recognition of Kudus as a standout talent with the potential to leave a lasting impact on Ghanaian football.
