Former Ghana U17 coach Paa Kwesi Fabin congratulated Mohammed Kudus on his recent move to Dutch giants Ajax.

The former Nordsjaelland star was signed for 9 million euros, making him the most expensive Ghanaian youngster in histoy.

Fabin, who now coaches Aduana Stars expressed his happiness at the move.

"It is a good thing to see him sign for Ajax and becoming the most expensive youngster in Ghana and I hope more youngsters will come up so we can have a strong Black Stars," Fabin told Ghsportsnews.com in a interview.

"I’m happy because it doesn’t happen more often. I keep saying that talent without effort is useless and he has been able to put in a lot of efforts to get that price tag. 9 million Euros is a big money for an African youngster.

"I’m hopeful he will justify the amount Ajax splashed on him.

Fabin believes that Kudus will have all the tools to grow at Ajax.

"Ajax is a team that gives opportunity to youngsters like Kudus and I believe it is a good move. If he is able to develop well, the big guns will come calling."

The veteran coach revealed how he got the 19-year-old star into the Ghana U17 squad for the FIFA World Cup in 2017 in India.

"I discovered him at Right to Dream Academy, he is one of the boys I picked from Right to Dream. He was in Denmark when I was preparing the team for the world cup and he was part of my plans. He had to join the team at the latter part for the World Cup right after his tournament in Europe."
