Qatar 2022: Prince Boateng names Mohammed Kudus as his best player so far

Former Ghana star, Kevin-Prince Boateng, has named Mohammed Kudus as his best player at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

The Black Stars midfielder was chosen by Prince ahead of players like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have all had different effects on their countries’ campaigns.

Kudus, 22, has been fantastic for Ghana in the World Cup, scoring twice and assisting once in the Black Stars’ 3-2 victory over South Korea on Monday.

Following the match, the Ajax star earned ecstatic plaudits from all around the world. Barcelona Sporting Director, Jordi Cruyff, confirmed the Catalan club is keeping an eye on his development.

Prince, who represented Ghana in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, showed his love for the gifted kid while serving as a television analyst in Germany.

“Kudus is the best player in the World Cup at the moment and he overly impresses with what he does. It’s incredible what he can do with the ball,” Boateng said on German television Sport1, as quoted by All Football.

“It will only be a matter of time before he moves, after the Dutch experience, to a top club,” Boateng said, “Kudus is currently the World Cup best player.”

Mohammed Kudus has thrived as a false nine for Ajax this season, scoring 10 goals in 21 appearances across all competitions despite initially finding it difficult to get into the lineup at the beginning of the season.
