West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus has revealed that his former Right to Dream teammate, Kamaldeen Sulemana, is the best player he has ever played alongside.
Kudus and Kamaldeen shared the pitch during their time in the Danish league before Kudus moved to Ajax and Kamaldeen later joined Stade Rennes. The duo also featured together for Ghana at the 2022 World Cup.
Despite playing with several top-class footballers throughout his career, Kudus singled out Kamaldeen when asked about his most talented teammate.
“I’ll go with Kamaldeen of Southampton because I have known him since he was young; because we played the same academy in Ghana, Denmark also. He’s the best player I’ve played with. I think he has everything a winger needs to succeed,” he told Perspectives [Rising Ballers].
Kudus has long admired Spanish midfielder Thiago Alcantara, and when asked about the best opponent he has faced, he named the former Liverpool star.
“The best player I’ve played against I’ll say Thiago Alcantara when he was at Liverpool.
“Growing up, I really loved watching him play and I really loved how he was playing because I like players that entertain the game and try to just entertain themselves and enjoy the game.
“So, playing against him at Anfield, he was untouchable. I was a fan on the pitch but same time doing the work,” he added.
The Ghanaian attacker will be looking to score his first goal of the year when West Ham host struggling Leicester on Thursday.
