Ghana would soon see another of its national team asset in the English Premier League and the player in question is Mohammed Kudus who will become the second player to put on the jersey for English top flight side, West Ham United.
The 23-year-old has had an improved bid worth €45 million including add-ons from West Ham United to his current Dutch club, Ajax.
Kudus has been a subject of transfer speculations with fellow premier league side, Brighton nearly snapping him up but an eleventh hour hitch stalled the move.
It is now certain that, Kudus would move to the London Stadium on a 5-year contract barring any last minute hitch as reported by global football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano.
A need to ask few questions is key as Kudus looks to follow in the footsteps of Black Stars captain, Andre Ayew who donned the Hammers jersey between 2016 and 2018.
The lack of playing time coupled with the exit of then manager, Slaven Bilic pushed André back to whence he joined West Ham, Swansea City in an £18 million deal.
The son of Ghana legend effectively left West Ham in January 2018 having scored 12 goals in 50 games in all competitions.
Mohammed Kudus will join a league that demands full scale concentration compared to the Dutch Eredivisie in order to command a regular shirt
The former Nordsjaelland man has grappled with injuries lately and with the rigorous nature of the premier league, one cannot but ask if Kudus will stay longer with manager, David Moyes.
Another factor that fights African players in Europe is the AFCON tournament which is five months away in Côte d’Ivoire.
Ghanaian players have struggled to regain their position with their clubs when they return from national assignment and Kudus will be no exception with several players waiting to pounce on any void created by his absence.
West Ham United prior to winning the Europa Conference League nearly sacked manager, David Moyes and coaches exit affect players signed by those managers.
Changes in management could be detrimental to some players due to varying in philosophies.
Hopefully Mohammed Kudus sees a brighter light in England like Michael Essien, Anthony Yeboah, Sulley Muntari, a bit of Asamoah Gyan but petty questions cannot be swept under the carpet.
