FIFA names five Ghana players to watch at the World Cup

The former midfielder, who won 15 caps for his country as a player, wasted no time in guiding the Black Stars to FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ qualification and, as a reward, will lead them at the tournament.

After winning the Danish championship and two domestic cups with FC Copenhagen as a youngster, he moved to Premier League club Leicester City in January 2016, where he was part of the Foxes’ surprise title-winning team that same year.

He was named in the official team of the tournament when the Black Stars finished fourth at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2017.

Kudus has also featured for Ajax in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, most recently grabbing a goal and an assist against Rangers to earn himself both the player of the match award and a spot in the Champions League team of the week.

As the Black Stars are likely to rely on counter-attacks time and time again at the World Cup, Kudus’s reliable passing and creativity will make him the perfect linchpin as his team switch from defence to attack

This was followed by a move from his homeland to Lisbon giants Sporting’s academy in April 2022, where Fatawu initially trained with the U-23 team before he could be registered to Sporting’s first-team squad.

It will be exciting to see how he announces his arrival with his new team, as the Black Stars are certainly gaining an extra attacking threat in Williams.
