Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus says prolonging his stay at Ajax Amsterdam would have meant staying in his comfort zone and his move to West Ham United was a way to challenge himself.
The Black Stars player said this in an interview with British media outlet The Guardian as he prepares to feature in West Ham’s English Premier League game against Newcastle on Saturday, March 30 at 12:30 GMT.
While talking extensively about his career, the former FC Nordsjaelland player talked about his big move to West Ham from Dutch side Ajax.
“I was ready to make that step after the season I had at Ajax. I’m a player who doesn’t want to be in my comfort zone.”
“I could have stayed at Ajax. I knew the league, I knew the club. But I don’t want to be complacent and comfortable. I always want to challenge myself.”
After his £37 million move was sealed in the final hours of the 2023 main transfer window, Kudus has excelled for the London side scoring six goals and adding four assists in 24 English Premier League games.
