In a tightly contested category, Kudus saw off competition from fellow Ghanaians Abdul Fatawu Issahaku (Leicester City), Osman Bukari (formerly Red Star Belgrade), and Inaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao) to become the second player after Arsenal’s Thomas Partey to win the Footballer of the Year award at the Ghana Football Awards twice.

Following his win, Kudus expressed his delight, attributing the award to his hard work, teammates, and family. He also took the opportunity to acknowledge the rising talent within the national team, specifically mentioning Leicester City’s Issahaku.

“We, the new generation, have a responsibility to build unity and camaraderie,” Kudus said. “The competition for this award is healthy, and Fatawu has pushed me a lot this season, just as I have pushed him. I’m incredibly proud of his journey and achievements at Leicester. This is a source of motivation for both of us and all the upcoming players.”

The midfielder further paid tribute to Ghanaian footballing legends, acknowledging the path they paved for the current generation. “I can’t mention names, but I want to thank them all,” Kudus stated. “Their past achievements have opened doors for us youngsters. Now, it’s our turn to do the same for those coming up behind us.”

Kudus’s back-to-back wins cement his position as a key figure in Ghanaian football. His dedication to both personal success and fostering a strong national team spirit positions him as a role model for the next generation of Ghanaian footballers.
