An international graffiti artist, Mohammed Awudu, has painted a mural of Black Stars midfielder, Mohammed Kudus, on the streets of Nima where the young talent grew up.
According to the graffiti artist, the painting is to celebrate and recognise the talented player’s shot to stardom.
He believes that Kudus’ success story could inspire the next generation within the Nima enclave to do greater exploits.
The mural includes his celebration after scoring one of Ghana’s three goals during the 3-2 win over South Korea at the World Cup.
Kudus was the man of the match in the thrilling 3-2 victory against South Korea, where he grabbed two goals, including the winner.
His performance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has been so outstanding that he has become the talk of town and social media.
The former Mayor of Accra, Nii Adjei Sowah, Dr Afua Asabea Asare, the CEO of Ghana Export Promotion, Rabiu Maude, a youth activist as well as kids and other residents in the area were present during the unveiling of the mural painting.
The StKudus grew up in Nima, a suburb of Accra, and started his footballing career there before joining Strong Tower.
The 22-year-old then joined the Right to Dream Academy where he was later developed and transferred to Danish side, FC Nordsjaelland.
In July 2020, Kudus earned a move to Eredivisie side, Ajax Amsterdam, where his performance continues to attract interest from several top clubs.
The attacking midfielder is currently in Qatar with the Black Stars for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
He further gained the world’s attention after his brace against South Korea moved Ghana to second position in Group H ahead of the final game against Uruguay on Friday, December 2.
