Ajax attacker Mohammed Kudus has revealed he was 'really close' to signing for Everton during the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old, who is also comfortable operating in midfield, ending up staying at his current employers despite interest from elsewhere and has proven his quality since taking the decision to stay loyal. Kudus has reached double figures for goals this season after 21 matches played, in addition to registering two assists.
Everton were linked with a £15million move for the Ghana international, whose transfer value is likely to have skyrocketed as a result of his eye-catching displays, which have continued at the World Cup. Kudus scored twice this afternoon as Ghana won a thrilling Group H encounter with South Korea 3-2.
