Former Hearts of Oak legend Bernard Dong-Bortey has advised Ghanaian youngster Mohammed Kudus against complacency to reach his full potential.
Kudus has been in fine form for Nordsjaelland in the Danish league this season, making 19 league appearances, scoring nine goals and providing one assist so far.
His impressive performance has seen him linked to a move to several clubs in Europe including Liverpool and Everton.
The 19-year-old was handed his maiden Black Stars call-up in November last year and scored on his debut in the 2-0 win over South Africa in a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Bortey, who won four Ghana Premier League titles and the Caf Confederation Cup with Hearts shared his thoughts on the highly-rated midfielder making waves in Europe and with the Black Stars.
"I’ve heard of Mohammed Kudus," Dong-Bortey told Goal.com.
"I started watching him from the 2015 Ghana U17s. He’s developing well. If only he won’t get a swollen-headed, he will make it.
"This is Africa for you. African players, we don’t aim high. If we achieve something little then we begin to descend.
"The young ones coming should aim high and tell themselves ‘this is what I want to do’. The people at the top started like them.
"They should stay focused and set targets. If they work hard, trust me they will get there."
