Ghana's Mohammed Kudus has been a breath of fresh air for his English top-flight side, West Ham, since joining the team from Ajax last year.

His explosive goals and contribution to big chances have made him a player to count on during their games.

The team was reluctant to release the Ghanaian forward for the AFCON tournament following a hamstring injury. When West Ham finally did, the team accompanied Mohammed Kudus with a specialist to help him recover fully.

Kudus was not involved in the Black Stars' disappointing opening AFCON game against Cape Verde but things are finally looking promising as he has been spotted training ahead of the Ghana's next fixture.

For many fans, the woes of West Ham and the Black Stars speak to the quality Mohammed Kudus brings to any match he plays.
