Mohammed Kudus announced himself on the global stage with his brace at the World Cup on Monday to show why he is one of the most coveted young players in football.
The attacking midfielder scored twice, including the winner, in Ghana’s dramatic 3-2 win over South Korea in Qatar.
The 22-year-old, who plays his club football for Ajax, almost single-handedly saved Ghana’s World Cup campaign when he stroked in left-footed in the 68th minute.
He had earlier scored with a header, before Son Heung-min’s South Korea mounted a comeback, only for Kudus to win it for Ghana and their colourful, chanting fans.

He has now scored seven times in 20 appearances for his country, having made his debut three years ago.
It remains to be seen how much further Ghana go at the tournament…
