Dutch international Kees Luijckx has likened new Ajax Amsterdam signing Mohammed Kudus to former de Godenzonen attacker Stanley Aborah.

Aborah, a former Belgian international of Ghanaian descent played for the Dutch Eredivisie outfit from 2004 to 2006 where he enjoyed some very good moments with the team.

Having faced Mohammed Kudus while playing for Silkeborg IF against FC Nordsjaelland, Kees Luijckx says the teenager has similar qualities to Stanley Aborah.

"Do you remember Stanley Aborah? Kudus is the same type. Strong, mega-ball-resistant, also from Ghana. Maybe it sounds a bit strange now because Aborah never broke through definitively, but I mean it positive”, the Netherlands defender said in an interview.

Mohammed Kudus, 19, has today wrapped up a transfer from FC Nordsjaelland to Ajax in a 5-year deal that has seen the Eredivisie side coughing out 9 million Euros.

The forward says he is delighted with the move and hopes to continue his development as a player at the club.
