“It’s a necessary move he made. It would have been wrong if he moved to England now because he needs to choose a club where he will get enough playing time” ex-Ashanti Gold coach said.

Moreover, Akonnor says Kudus is not mature enough to join a Premier League giant for the moment. Arguing that a regular playing time with Ajax can propel him back into the viewfinders of European top clubs.

“Once he is fully matured the English teams would come chasing him so I think it’s good he moved to Ajax where he will be playing more regularly” he added.

In addition, Ajax spent €9M to land Mohammed Kudus from Danish Super League.
