Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam have expressed pride in midfielder Mohammed Kudus despite Ghana's early exit from the World Cup.

The 22-year-old took the tournament by storm and was Ghana's best player after three games.

A 2-0 defeat at the hands of Uruguay meant Ghana left the competition with a win in three games.

However, Kudus returns home with some pride after contributing three goals at the World Cup for Ghana. He scored two and assisted three. He also won a penalty which was missed by Andre Ayew in the game against Uruguay.
