He was Ghana's best player at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, netting two goals and providing an assist in three matches.

Kudus' performances have seen him get a mention when the in-form players from Africa are discussed.

However, the former FC Nordsjaelland player will face tough competition from the likes of Victor Osimhen and Thomas Partey.

“I believe everything is possible in this world so definitely yeah, I will be chosen one day [as African Footballer of the Year," Kudus told Ajax TV, as quoted by Pulse.

Kudus is currently on the radar of Manchester United and could make a move from the Eredivisie in the summer transfer window.
