“Berghuis did not train this week and completed his own program, he had to go to the side with complaints during the cup final and is a doubtful case for Saturday evening,” said Ajax manager John Heitinga in the pre-match presser. 

“The final came too early for Kudus, but he did participate in all training sessions with the group and is available again.

Devyne Rensch came in at De Kuip on Sunday and came out well, he had no reaction on Monday. So he has this week also fully trained with the group,” he added.

Kudus has been Ahjax’s best player this season, scoring 18 goals and proving five assists across all competitions.

Kudus advised to join Arsenal

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Former Holland and Ajax player, Frank de Boer believes Ghana midfielder, Mohammed Kudus will be a perfect fit for Arsenal.

The 22-year-old has attracted interest from Manchester United and Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window, following his blistering form for Ajax this season.

Kudus has scored 18 goals and provided five assists across all competitions for the Dutch giants.

Kudus ranked high in dribblers list

Mohammed Kudus, the talented Ghanaian midfielder, has been recognized as one of the top five U23 dribblers in the world.

The announcement was made on May 4, 2023, and it highlights some of the most skilled players at the age of 23 and under.

The prestigious list is dominated by the likes of Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, who ranks first, and Santos’ Angelo Gabriel, who comes in at second. Kudus is honored to be named in the elite group, which includes Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala and Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Pedro Neto.

Kudus, who turned 22 in August 2022, joined Ajax Amsterdam from Danish side FC Nordsjælland in July 2020. He was an immediate hit for the Dutch club, scoring on his Eredivisie debut against Sparta Rotterdam.

He went on to make 22 league appearances in his first season and contributed four goals, as well as earning praise for his impressive dribbling skills. Unfortunately, his progress was slowed down by injuries during his second season, causing him to miss a number of games.

Kudus is now back in action for Ajax after a three-week absence due to injury. His return is a boost for the team, as they compete for a place in the Champions League. Ajax is currently in second place in the Eredivisie, with just a few games left in the season.

With this recognition as one of the world’s best U23 dribblers, Kudus has shown that he has the talent and potential to become one of the top players in the game. Ajax fans and Ghanaian football supporters will be eagerly anticipating his future performances and hoping that he can continue to make an impact for both club and country.
