Ghanaian football legend Michael Essien has predicted that West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus will become one of the world’s best players, citing his impressive skill set and potential for greatness.
In an interview with TalkSport, Essien, who is a Chelsea legend, expressed his high expectations for Kudus, stating that he has everything it takes to dominate the sport.
“I rate him very highly, and he’s got everything to be at the top. He is a good footballer, and he has everything to go to the top,” Essien said confidently.
The former midfielder’s praise comes as Kudus has been making waves in recent weeks, following his performance in Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Central African Republic.
While some fans were disappointed with his performance, Essien believes that Kudus has the potential to rise above the criticism and become a world-class player.
