Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan beleives Mohammed Kudus has a tough decision to make with his potential move to Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad.
Kudus has been linked with a potential big-money move to the Saudi Pro League with sources reporting that the 23-year-old Kudus will earn US$300,000 a week in Saudi Arabia three times more than his current salary (US$114,351.30) at West Ham.
In 2011, Gyan made a controversial move to the Gulf joining Al-Ain in the United Arab Emirates from Sunderland.
“If is true, it would be a tough very decision, I cannot decide for him, it depends on his people,” Gyan told Accra-based Asaase Radio.
“He is young but if you watch the business module of the game, although we are playing with passion football it is business.”
He lamented that many Ghanaian footballers now live miserable lives after football all because of financial difficulty.
“In Ghana here, they only mention my name when the Black Stars are playing. Many players have died after retirement. It did not even become news; we did not hear of it. The people who would want to see you play in the EPL are thinking of their personal interest.”
Mohammed Kudus in his first season in the Premier League scored 14 times for the Hammers and helped them to reach the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
Despite the links to Saudi Arabia, Liverpool have also expressed their interest in the Ghana international.
