Kudus with his award
Black Stars and West Ham star, Mohammed Kudus, has yet again emerged tops in this year’s Ghana Football Awards held in Accra on Saturday.
It was the enterprising 23-year-old second streak success – picking the flagship prize – Footballer of the Year award, making him the second player to achieve that feat.
It was in recognition of the left-footed’s outstanding season in the English Premier League with the Hammers.
The former Ajax man shrugged off competition from Abdul Fatawu Issahaku (Leicester City), Osman Bukari (Crvena zvezda), and Inaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao) to run home with the topmost prize.
He also left the Grand Arena with the Goal of the Year award for his spectacular strike against Freiburg in the UEFA Europa League.
The night also saw Samartex star Emmanuel Keyekeh being recognised as the Home-Based Player of the Season for his pivotal role in helping his team secure their first Ghana Premier League title.
He expressed appreciation to his team mates and other nominees for their respective contributions in making him go the extra mile.
