Mohammed Kudus, the dynamic West Ham United midfielder, has opened up about the deep sense of pride and purpose he feels representing Ghana on the international stage.

In an interview with NBC Sports, Kudus reflected on his journey with the Black Stars, expressing how much it means to don the jersey of a nation with nearly 40 million people watching and believing.

“It’s a huge privilege to represent our country as one of the players for the Black Stars. It means so much to me,” he said with heartfelt emotion.

Since his debut in 2019, Kudus has grown into a pivotal figure in Ghana’s national team, netting 12 goals in 42 appearances. But for Kudus, it’s about more than stats — it’s about legacy.

“Growing up, I watched most of the legends play for Ghana, and they inspired me. Now, I’m in that position. I see it as a responsibility to do things right, be a role model, and inspire the next generation.”

Kudus dreams not just of victory, but of being a beacon of hope for the youth. “I want to show the kids looking up to me that it’s possible to achieve even greater things — and do better than what I’m doing now.”

For Kudus, every touch of the ball in national colors is not just a play — it’s a promise.
