Erik ten Hag discusses how Mohammed Kudus will fit in at Ajax | OneFootball

Ajax manager Erik ten Hag has talked up new signing Mohammed Kudus, though he has admitted he will need time to adjust to life in the Eredivisie.

The 20-year-old banged in 11 goals last year for Nordsjaelland, which earned him a move to Ajax that came with a five-year deal.

“Kudus is a multifunctional player, with many European top clubs behind him,” ten Hag said.

“He is versatile, has also played in many different positions in Denmark – as a striker, behind the striker, as a midfielder [or] on the flanks.

“He has a similar potential to what we saw in [new signing] Antony, with the important difference that he has been in Europe for some time. He also speaks fluent English.

“In terms of adjustment, he has a head start, but in both cases, it remains to be seen how much adjustment time they need.”

Kudus became Ajax’s third signing after Antony and goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.
