West Ham United’s Ghanaian Midfield Maestro Ends Year with Unmatched Dribbling Feats
London, UK – As the football world reflects on the achievements of 2024, one name stands out among the rest: Mohammed Kudus. The Ghanaian midfielder has ended the year as the only player in Europe’s top five leagues to complete over 100 take-ons, securing his place as the continent’s top dribbler.
Kudus, who plays for West Ham United, managed an impressive 127 successful dribbles throughout the year, leading the pack ahead of Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal (96) and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala (95). His exceptional performance has not only earned him individual accolades but also admiration from fans and pundits alike.
A Year of Dazzling Dribbles
Kudus’ journey to the top of the dribbling charts began with his move to West Ham United from Ajax in the summer of 2023. Since then, he has quickly become a fan favorite at the East London club, known for his dazzling dribbles, remarkable strength, and eye for spectacular goals.
Throughout the year, Kudus has been a standout performer in the English Premier League, despite West Ham’s struggles. He has netted 3 goals and delivered an assist in 13 matches so far this season, adding to his impressive 20-goal contribution from the last campaign. Kudus’ flair and technical brilliance on the ball have made him a nightmare for defenders, often leaving them in his wake as he glides past with ease.
Recognition and Praise
Kudus’ achievements have not gone unnoticed. He clinched West Ham’s November Goal of the Month for a stunning scissor-kick against Brentford and later claimed March’s award with an extraordinary solo strike against SC Freiburg, which also earned Europa League’s Goal of the Season for 2023/24.
His unique ability to navigate tight spaces and break through defensive lines with finesse and precision has earned him widespread admiration. Even rival fanbases have begun advocating for their teams to pursue the gifted Right to Dream Academy product. This growing recognition is a testament to Kudus’ hard work and dedication, both on and off the pitch.
International Challenges
While Kudus has thrived at the club level, his brilliance has not fully translated to international success. The Black Stars, under Otto Addo, continue to face challenges in regaining their former glory, with Kudus’ efforts often appearing isolated in a team struggling for cohesion. Nevertheless, he remains a pivotal figure for the national team, providing moments of magic and inspiration that keep fans hopeful.
Despite this, Kudus remains an indispensable figure for Ghana. His potential to lead the team into a more promising era keeps fans optimistic about what lies ahead. The Black Stars’ faithful will be hoping that with time and better team chemistry, Kudus’ club-level brilliance will shine through on the international stage as well.
