Ghana international Kamaldeen Sulemana has expressed that Mohammed Kudus’ performances serve as a major source of inspiration for him.
The two players began their football journeys at the Right to Dream Academy and later played for Danish club FC Nordsjaelland before pursuing their separate paths in European football.
While Kudus has continued his impressive rise, now playing for West Ham United, Sulemana has had a more challenging time, currently at Southampton after a stint with French side Stade Rennes.
Despite the hurdles, Sulemana remains motivated by his friend Kudus’ success.
“My best two friends play in the Premier League. Abdul Fatawu is at Leicester and Mohammed Kudus is at West Ham,” he told ShowMax. “Kudus hasn’t had the best season this season, but he was sublime last season. It’s great to see my best friend doing so well. It gives me motivation to push as hard as I can.”
Sulemana, who aims to excel like Kudus, continued, “It’s so amazing that we are all playing in the Premier League and excelling. Last season, I watched Kudus excel, and I told him I would see him in the Premier League next season, and we can destroy the league together.”
With Southampton’s relegation from the Premier League after their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, Sulemana is now focused on playing for pride for the remainder of the campaign.
