Ghana’s Mohammed Kudus has hit the ground running in pre-season for Dutch champions, Ajax, scoring in his side’s 1-1 draw against KVV Quick ’20.

Kudus, 20, opened the scoring for Ajax with a cool finish on the stroke of half-time before Issy Wevers levelled up for KVV Quick’20 in the dying minutes of the game.

The former Right To Dream star picked up a loose ball in the box after a corner kick, controlled it perfectly before coolly finishing it off with his weak right foot.

The Ghanaian will be hoping for more of the same after a difficult first season at Ajax, where he had to battle to with injuries.

He, however, finished the campaign strongly, playing regularly under Erik Ten Haag in the last few games.

Kudus scored four goals and provided three assists in 17 games last season to help Ajax clinch another league title.
