A former Ghanaian player has tipped Ghana star Mohammed Kudus to win the CAF Player of the Year award.

Kudus has been an exceptional player for West Ham since joining the Premier League side last season.

The winger made 55 appearances, scoring 16 goals and providing seven assists in his first season with the Hammers.

The Ghanaian star has continued his good form this season, scoring two goals in his first eight games.

Agyemang-Badu told Flashscore.com, “I was hoping he would make the shortlist, but there were also many outstanding players who performed exceptionally well in Africa last year.

“Kudus is still young and has plenty of opportunities to be crowned Africa’s best. He just needs to stay focused, keep learning, and continue to grow. His time will come—it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

Badu praised the outstanding efforts of the other nominees despite being disappointed by Kudus' exclusion.

Meanwhile, Super Eagles stars Ademola Lookman and Troost Ekong made the list for the CAF POTY award.

The Atalanta winger is considered the favourite to win the award after an excellent performance last season.
