West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus has a higher market than nearly half of the teams competing at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Ghanaian attacking midfielder will be one of the most recognisable names to feature in the tournament and will be pivotal to the Black Stars chances of success.
Kudus has made a brilliant start to his Hammers career and fans will be keen to see him replicate his stunning form in the Ivory Coast over the next month.
It’s been over 40 years since Ghana last won the AFCON and if this is to be their year, it’s more than likely that Kudus will be one of the main culprits behind their triumph.
Kudus West Ham Stats
Mohammed Kudus has proven to be one of the signings of the season since switching the Johan Cruyff Arena for the London Stadium in the summer of 2023.
Costing £38m from the Dutch giants, Kudus has wasted little time in finding his feet for David Moyes‘ side and has developed a strong relationship with his teammates.
Swapping the Eredivisie for the Premier League has come very naturally for the 23-year old and at the time of writing, he has scored six goals and provided one assist in England’s elite.
Across all competitions, Kudus has scored 13 times in 27 outings for both clubs this season which also included a hat-trick against Ludogorets in UEFA Europa League qualifying.
