Ghana international Kudus Mohammed has been described as ‘The new pearl’ following his outstanding performance for Ajax against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League.

The 22-year-old scored a belter to cancel an early Mohamed Salah goal for Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday night.

Despite Ajax losing the game late to a Joel Matip header, it was the display of the Ghanaian midfielder that made the headlines in England.

Kudus came close to joining Everton in the summer transfer window.

"Ajax is matched by few clubs in top football when it comes to identifying talent and the latest gem seems to be the Ghanaian attacker Kudus," writes the BBC.

"It soon became clear why Ajax refused to sell Kudus to Everton after they let Antony go to Manchester United," reports The Guardian.

"Ajax believes that Kudus will play a very important role this season, which will also significantly increase his transfer value," the BBC added.

Mohammed Kudus has scored six goals in nine games for Ajax this season and looks to have seized the starting role from Brian Brobbey.
