Ghanaian midfielder and West Ham star Mohammed Kudus has been named the Footballer of the Year at the 2024 Ghana Football Awards, held on Saturday.
The 23-year-old’s stellar performance in the English Premier League with the Hammers earned him this prestigious accolade. Kudus outshone fellow nominees Abdul Fatawu Issahaku (Leicester City), Osman Bukari (Crvena zvezda), and Inaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao) to claim the top honor.
Adding to his accolades, Kudus also secured the Goal of the Year award for his stunning strike against Freiburg in the UEFA Europa League. This victory marks Kudus as the second Ghanaian footballer to win the Footballer of the Year award consecutively.
