Ghanaian winger Ernest Nuamah lauds compatriot Mohammed Kudus on achieving 100 take-ons this season

Published on: 04 May 2024

Ghanaian winger Ernest Nuamah, currently playing for Olympique Lyon, has expressed his admiration for fellow countryman Mohammed Kudus for completing a remarkable 100 take-ons this season.

Nuamah took to his official Twitter account to react to a post from West Ham United, the club where Kudus plies his trade.

The tweet from West Ham celebrated Kudus' impressive achievement, and Nuamah responded with a simple yet meaningful comment: "Ohene 👑🤲🏿".

The term "Ohene" translates to "king" in the Twi language, a clear indication of Nuamah's respect and acknowledgment of Kudus' exceptional skills on the field.

Kudus 23, achieved this success during West Ham United's home game against Liverpool.

Following his two successful dribbles against Jurgen Klopp's side in the first half, Kudus emerged as the first player in Europe's top 5 leagues with 100 completed dribbles this season.

The game however ended 2-2 at the London Stadium. Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring just before the break when he rose highest to meet Mohammed Kudus' cross.

But the visitors were much improved in the second half and Andy Robertson equalised when he scored from Luis Diaz's low pass into the penalty area.

They were then rewarded for their pressure when Cody Gakpo's effort from a corner ricocheted off Angelo Ogbonna, Tomas Soucek and Alphonse Areola before finding the back of the net.

It looked like they were on their way to bouncing back from back-to-back defeats in the league until Antonio's thumping header put the Hammers back on level terms.

Kudus, who joined the Hammers from Ajax has made 42 appearances in all competitions and has scored 13 goals and five assists to his credit.

Mohammed Kudus and his side will hope to return to winning ways when they travel to play Chelsea on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
