Ghana and Ajax attacker, Mohammed Kudus has been named in Forbes Africa’s 2023 30 Under 30 list.

The 22-year-old is one of only two Ghanaians on this year’s list, with the other being creative director and videographer Emmanuel Whajah.

Kudus has been one of the best Ghanaian players in Europe in the ongoing season.

The former Right to Dream Academy player starred in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar where he scored twice and grabbed an assist.

Kudus has so far scored 18 goals and five assists in all competitions this season for the Dutch giants. Following his exploits, the former FC Nordsjaelland playmaker has been recognised on Forbes Africa’s 30 Under 30 list.

Forbes Africa’s 30 Under 30 recognises the brightest visionaries, risk-takers, change-makers and pioneers to take their place on the continent.

The list comprises 30 of Africa’s most ingenious innovators under the age of 30 for the categories of Business, Technology, Creatives, Sport and Science/Health.

Meanwhile, Kudus believes there is more to come from him despite his blistering form in the ongoing campaign.

Speaking about his ambitions for the season, Kudus said he hopes to win the league and cup double with Ajax, insisting he hasn’t achieved anything yet.

“The goal is to win the cup and the league and until I achieve that I haven’t done anything yet. So there is more coming. More work to be done,” he told Ajax TV last month.
