Ghana star Mohammed Kudus has returned to the Netherlands after a short break in Ghana to begin pre-season with Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam ahead of the new season.
The midfielder joined his teammates on Wednesday and is expected to be fully involved as they prepare to bounce back after missing out on the Dutch league title last season.
Kudus was part of the players who participated in international activities at the close of last season and were put through regular exercises to help them regain their fitness before joining the rest of the squad for training.
His remarkable form with both club and country has put him in big transfer conversations with interest from English clubs as well other elite clubs in Europe.
Despite initial interests from Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool and Arsenal among others, it is Brighton who are now believed to have made a concrete attempt to get the 22-year-old.
Despite having two years left on his present contract, the 22-year-old’s future in the Netherlands remains uncertain ahead of the upcoming season.
He scored 18 goals and provided seven assists across all competitions last season for Ajax Amsterdam and shone for the Black Stars at the 2022 World Cup where he scored two crucial goals and set up another.
