"If is true, it would be a tough very decision, I cannot decide for him, it depends on his people. He is young but if you watch the business module of the game, although we are playing with passion football it is business."

Asamoah Gyan said that many people, particularly Ghanaians, would be delighted to see him play in the English Premier League; however, the player should also focus on the business aspect of things and decide what is best for him.

He lamented that many Ghanaian footballers now live miserable lives after football all because of financial difficulty.

"In Ghana here, they only mention my name when the Black Stars are playing. Many players have died after retirement. It did not even become news; we did not hear of it. The people who would want to see you play in the EPL are thinking of their personal interest.”

At the time of writing, the video had raked in over 1000 likes and 37 comments.

@mannykwao341 commented:

Kudus go go go go!!!. Make the money and help the youths of your community

@JojoBrookes indicated:

For the record, Kudus doesn't really have injury issues right now like we thought. He is a model for his team and he is not the only person who has been approached by the Saudis.

@patrickjensen5602 stated:

Kudus is only 23 years old. The Saudi offers will keep coming, even more hefty ones if he keeps growing as a player.
