Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton has emphasised the need for Mohammed Kudus to play more minutes amid Premier League interest.

The Ghanaian sensation has been the subject of strong interest from English clubs following his incredible season with Ajax during the 2022/23 campaign.

The player's performances at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar also seemed to have convinced many clubs who are looking to sign him.

Brighton and Hove Albion, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are the latest to be mentioned after Everton were linked with him during the January transfer window.

Hughton, speaking to TalkSPORT on Tuesday, August 1, spoke highly of the 22-year-old and his chances of succeeding in the English top flight should he seal a move.

"He [Kuds] is a player of interest. There is no doubt and I know there was interest last season [from] Everton," he said.

"He is a player that will always show interest from clubs. He is young and has super abilities and also has that flexibility...

"[Premier League interest is] no surprise. The most important thing is he is playing."

Kudus has been absent from Ajax's pre-season training in the last week with the club announcing it is down to an injury.
