Ghana face South Korea in a must-win match for the Black Stars, who need a win to get their campaign back on track after a controversial defeat to Portugal in their opener last Thursday in Doha. Having achieved knockout berths in their first two appearances in 2006 and 2012, Ghana failed to make it past the group stage in 2014 when they lost 2-1 to Portugal in their last group match in Brazil. Similarly, Portugal handed them another defeat last Thursday and they would have to redeem themselves against South Korea to keep their qualifying dream alive. The Black Stars…

Ajax midfielder, Mohammed Kudus, says seeing people appreciate his progress and performances always pushes him to get better and serve as a source of motivation.

With injuries slowing down his speedy progress in his first two season with the Eredivisie side, the Ghanaian looks a man reborn in the 2022/23 season, scoring seven goals and providing an assist across all competitions. His heroics included scoring in back-to-back games in the UEFA…

With the Black Stars’ striking option looking far from convincing despite the addition of Inaki Williams, Tanko, who once played for Ghana, has asked Otto Addo to give Kudus the false nine role. “Kudus is a very talented player. He can play in many…

wontumionlineSportsajax, mohammed kudus

The assistant head coach of the Black Stars, George Boateng, says he is uncertain whether the time is right for Mohammed Kudus to move to Everton from Ajax. The midfielder has been heavily linked with a move away from the Eredivise side after an unsatisfactory start to the season. Kudus has played just 29 minutes from four games this season, a decision that has not gone down well with the Ghanaian after an excellent pre-season. With just away from the close of the transfer window, Boateng says he is ‘unsure’ if it’s the right moment for Kudus to leave. “In…
