Four of Europe’s biggest clubs are fighting for Mohammed Kudus’ signature after a breakthrough year for club and country.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool and Chelsea face competition from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain for the 22-year-old attacking midfielder.
Kudus would help to reinvigorate a Liverpool side that has been lacking in energy and purpose after their draining pursuit of four trophies last season.
Jurgen Klopp has had to rely on youngster Harvey Elliott and veteran James Milner more than he would like over recent months as others have struggled for form and fitness.
Chelsea’s direction under new owner Todd Boehly remains unclear with a raft of signings made over the summer before Thomas Tuchel was sacked in September.
The German manager, who led them to success in the Champions League the year before, has been replaced by Brighton’s Graham Potter.
Although he lacks the status and pedigree of some of his predecessors, Potter has a proven track record of developing young players from different backgrounds.
With his skill, vision and composed finishing, Kudus is considered one of the most exciting prospects in world football.
He arrived at Danish side FC Nordsjælland from the Right to Dream academy, which has helped to develop many Ghanaian internationals.
After a couple of years in Denmark, he moved to Ajax and contributed to two consecutive Eredivisie titles under Erik ten Hag, who praised his ‘incredible potential’.
Kudus has reached a couple of impressive milestones in recent months, building on his first Champions League goal against Rangers with a brace to beat South Korea in the World Cup.
Ghana are well-placed to progress from Group H as they prepare to face Uruguay in their final game on Friday.
They are on course to meet pre-tournament favourites Brazil in the last 16 if they make it through in second place.
