Popular football pundit and former Bayern Munich midfielder, Owen Hargreave, has praised Ajax forward, Mohammed Kudus, after scoring a brilliant header in Ghana’s first win in this year’s World Cup.
The former England international labelled Kudus as the best player on the pitch during Ghana’s tie with South Korea, which the West African team won 3-2.
Hargreaves made his assertion at half-time of the Group F match during his analyses on SuperSport, where he described the Ghanaian as calm and comfortable in possession.

Hargreaves said: “Jordan Ayew is playing like David Beckham and to be fair, Thomas Partey in the midfield, they tried a bit of composition, they looked comfortable.
“I like this calm, comfortable possession, but look at this guy Kudus and that is a brilliant goal from the best player on the pitch.”
A goal from Southampton’s defender, Mohammed Salisu in the first half and two goals from Mohammed Kudus in each half of the game settled the encounter in favour of Ghana.
