Agyemang Badu optimistic of Kudus clinching CAF Player of the Year soon

Former Ghanaian international, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu is confident Mohammed Kudus has what it takes to be named CAF Player of the Year.

In his debut season for English Premier League side, West Ham, Kudus scored 14 goals and assisted six times in the Premier League. A feat a lot of fans thought will get him to be nominated in the CAF Player of the Year Award.

Ademola Lookman,  Achraf Hakimi,  Serhou Guirassy,  Chancel Mbemba, and South Africa’s goalkeeper Ronwen Williams  are some of the notable players in the 10-man shortlist.

Though Mohammed Kudus did not make the final shortlist, Emmanuel Agyemang- Badu believes the young player has more years ahead of him to clinch the award if he continues to stay consistent.

“I was hoping he would make the shortlist, but there were also many outstanding players who performed exceptionally well in Africa last year,” Agyemang-Badu told Flashscore.

“Kudus is still young and has plenty of opportunities to be crowned Africa’s best. He just needs to stay focused, keep learning, and continue to grow. His time will come—it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”
