Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus
Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus has expressed his pride and sense of responsibility in playing in the English Premier League, citing his humble beginnings in Nima, Accra.
In an interview with the EPL, Kudus reflected on his journey from the Right to Dream Academy to West Ham United, via stints at FC Nordsjaelland and Ajax Amsterdam.
“Becoming a Premier League player means a lot to me. I feel it’s also a responsibility because, growing up, watching players like Michael Essien and Sulley Muntari in the Premier League was a huge source of motivation for me,” Kudus said.
He added that he feels a sense of duty to represent Ghana and Nima while being a positive role model.
“Now that I’m in this position, it also comes with the responsibility of shedding light on where I’m from, how I carry myself, and how I represent Ghana and Nima as a whole.”
Kudus has had a strong debut season at West Ham, scoring three goals and providing one assist in 22 EPL games.
He will look to continue his good form when West Ham faces Newcastle United on March 10.
