Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has backed Mohammed Kudus to reach the very top of world football, describing the Tottenham Hotspur attacker as a special talent whose best years are still ahead of him.

The Ghana legend believes Kudus’ steady rise in European football is far from complete and has urged fans to closely follow the progress of the Black Stars forward as his career continues to unfold.

Speaking during an interview with former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand, Gyan highlighted Kudus’ quality, discipline and mentality, expressing confidence in his long-term influence for both club and country.

“Mohammed Kudus is doing well. I wish him all the best because he is a player who is still coming up, and people should really watch out for him,” Gyan said. “I always tell him to take good care of himself.”

Kudus has grown into a key figure for both Tottenham Hotspur and the Black Stars, despite facing early challenges following his move from West Ham United. The versatile attacker has scored two goals in 19 appearances for Spurs this season, operating across several attacking roles.

His displays have continued to showcase his technical quality, adaptability and confidence at the highest level of the Premier League.

Currently sidelined with an injury, Kudus is expected to remain out until April, which will rule him out of Ghana’s international friendly against Germany in March. However, the setback is not expected to affect his long-term international future.

The Spurs forward is still widely tipped to be included in Ghana’s final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the Black Stars’ technical team confident he will return in time to play a crucial role.

Having represented Ghana at three FIFA World Cups, Gyan’s endorsement carries significant weight and reflects the growing belief within Ghanaian football circles that Mohammed Kudus has the talent and mindset to become one of Africa’s standout stars on the global stage.
