Agent explains why Mohammed Kudus joined Ajax | OneFootball

Last week, Mohammed Kudus became the most expensive Ghanaian teenager in history as Ajax signed the player for €9m following his incredible season with Nordsjaelland, where he scored 11 goals in 25 league games.

Kudus was linked to a plethora of top clubs around the world, including Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, and AC Milan, and his agent, Jennifer Mendelewitsch, has revealed why he decided to join Ajax.

“Ajax is known worldwide for the way they develop young players and to have a very attractive style of playing,” Mendelewitsch told TV3.

“When you are 19, you don’t choose your club as a grown-up player like someone who is at 28 or 29. You look for different things and for a young player, the main thing is to have some game time and be in a project when you know that they know how to deal with young boys to give them time and increase their level in their development.

“They [Ajax] are very excited to have this young boy in the team. Of course, he is not coming as if everything is going to be easy for him but we had a very long conversation with the head coach and he explained what is expected from Kudus and what also Kudus expects from Ajax.”

Kudus signed a five-year deal with Ajax following two seasons and 57 career first-team appearances with the Danish giants. He is a two-time Ghana international, scoring a goal on his debut in AFCON qualifying against South Africa.
