Ghanaian football star Kudus Mohammed has expressed his ambition to make a positive impact on the sports industry by providing opportunities for less privileged footballers in Africa. In a recent interview with Rising Ballers (perspectives), the West Ham United midfielder shared his journey from humble beginnings in Nima, Ghana, to becoming a prominent figure in European football.

Kudus, who began his career with local club Strong Towers before joining the Right to Dream Academy in 2010, emphasized the importance of creating pathways for talented individuals who may not have the same opportunities he had. “I think I’ll open up more opportunities from where I’m coming from. Because I believe there are more better talents than I am that I saw growing up but they haven’t made it because of opportunities. So I think that’s what I’ll try to change,” he stated.

Since moving to Europe, Kudus has consistently given back to his community, demonstrating his commitment to social responsibility. His latest remarks highlight his desire to uplift aspiring footballers who face challenges in pursuing their dreams.

On the pitch, Kudus continues to find his form with West Ham, having scored three goals in the Premier League this season. He is looking to add to his tally as the team prepares to host Leicester City on Thursday.

Kudus Mohammed’s dedication to both his career and his community serves as an inspiration to many, showcasing the potential for athletes to effect meaningful change in the lives of others. As he pursues his goals, fans and aspiring footballers alike will be watching closely to see how he balances his on-field success with his off-field ambitions.
