Arsenal star Eddie Nketiah appears to have given the green light for his side to sign Ajax ace Mohammed Kudus with praise for the midfielder on social media. It comes after the Ghanaian scored a crucial brace in his nation's crunch match with South Korea in the World Cup group stages.
The Black Stars won the match 3-2 as Kudus' flicked header and curled effort has seen them take charge of their qualification hopes in group H. It continues the 22-year-old's rise to stardom, having netted four and assisted twice in just six Champions League games for Ajax this campaign.
His brace shows he can step up to the big occasion and potentially backs up a huge claim over Brazil star Neymar Jr before the World Cup. He told the Guardian: "Neymar is not better than me. He’s just a higher profile player, that’s all." Kudus is now outscoring Neymar in the tournament, with the latter now missing the rest of the group stage for the Selecao.
