Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus has tipped Dutch-born defender Jeremie Agyekum Frimpong as the Breakout Star of the 2024 European Championship.
Kudus made this prediction during an interview with West Ham media, reflecting on his stellar debut season at the London club after a high-profile transfer from Dutch giants Ajax.
The 2024 Euros commenced on Friday, June 14, in Germany, with the host nation thrashing Scotland 5-1. Switzerland also secured a 3-1 victory over Hungary in Group A. In a standout performance, Swiss striker Kwadwo Duah, who has Ghanaian roots, netted his first goal for Switzerland. Additionally, Nico Williams, also of Ghanaian descent, played a crucial role in Spain's 3-0 triumph over Croatia.
Frimpong, 23, has been in remarkable form, shining in Bayer Leverkusen's Bundesliga and German Cup-winning campaign. The talented defender notched up nine goals and nine assists in 31 Bundesliga matches, contributing a total of 14 goals and 12 assists across 47 games in all competitions.
On 13 October 2023, Frimpong debuted for the Dutch as a substitute in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match against France.
The Netherlands will play Poland in their first game at the 2024 Euros tomorrow.
