After an electrifying performance in what may be his final game for Ajax, Mohammed Kudus hinted his time with the Dutch club may soon come to an end. The Ghanaian striker netted a hat trick on Thursday to lead Ajax to a 5-0 rout of Ludogorets in the Europa League playoffs.
When asked about his future after the match, Kudus responded “Yes, I think it was my final game here at Ajax. But let’s see what happens in the next day.” The 22-year-old added that talks are ongoing regarding a potential transfer and agreement could be reached in the coming days.
Kudus has been with Ajax since 2020, making over 60 appearances and establishing himself as one of their brightest young talents. But after two seasons in the Eredivisie, he may now be ready for a new challenge.
Premier League club West Ham United has emerged as a potential destination for Kudus. When asked about the London club, he called them a “good club” in what seemed like an endorsement of the rumored move.
After finishing his hat trick against Ludogorets by cooly slotting the ball into the bottom corner, Kudus waved goodbye to the Ajax fans in what appeared to be an emotional farewell. While his departure would be a loss for Ajax, Kudus seems poised to take the next step in his career.
Wherever Kudus ends up, one thing is clear: his combination of power, pace and clinical finishing will make him an exciting player to watch in a new league. Both Ajax and Ghana will have their eyes on his future as his star continues to rapidly rise on the global stage.
