Spanish giants, FC Barcelona have been monitoring Ghana and Ajax FC talisman Mohammed Kudus, according to the Sporting Director of the Catalonia club Jordi Cruyff.[ads2]
The 21-year old has been in a blistering form this season in the Dutch league which nearly saw him joining Everton in the English Premier league in the last transfer window.
And even though FC Barcelona have not officially expressed interest in Kudus Mohammed, Jordi Cruyff told RAC 1 in an interview that his outfit have been tracking the Ghanaian footballer for the past one year.
“We’ve been tracking Mohamed Kudus for more than one year. We can’t say now that Barça want Kudus… but he’s attracting interest”, Cruyff told RAC 1 as quoted by Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano.[ads3]
“He’s scoring goals and in Holland they discuss a lot about his position, so yes – I know him well”, he added.
Kudus Mohammed is currently making a name for himself in the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar, having scored two goals and provided an assist for Ghana.
