Ghanaian footballer Emmanuel Danso has experienced a sudden surge in attention to his career, thanks to praise from his former teammate Mohammed Kudus, who currently plays for West Ham United in England.
In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Kudus was asked to name the best player he had ever played with.
Without hesitation, he singled out Danso as the most talented player he has shared the pitch with, bringing attention to Danso’s skills on a global scale.
“I played with him in Ghana in the academy when I was growing up. He is one of the best players I have played with. I have played with a lot of players, there is a lot you know from here (West Ham) and Ajax, but he is the one,” he told the Sky Sports Journalist.
Who is Emmanuel Danso?
Since the interview, many Ghanaian football fans have wondered who Emmanuel Danso is, with some questioning why he has not received a call-up to any of the national teams if he was as good as claimed by Mohammed Kudus.
