Mohammed Kudus is a player Barcelona Sporting Director Jordi Cruyff has acknowledged the Catalan club is interested in and following.
According to reports, many prominent Premier League teams, including Liverpool and Barcelona, are interested in the Ajax striker.
"We’ve been tracking Mohammed Kudus for more than one year. We can’t say now that Barça wants Kudus… but he’s attracting interest," Jordi told Spanish outlet RAC 1.
The 22-year-old has spent more time this season playing as a false nine for Ajax than his typical position as number 10.
Cruyff goes on to note that he has been following discussions in the Netherlands on what role the Right to Dream Academy alumnus should play.
"He’s scoring goals and in Holland, they discuss a lot about his position, so yes – I know him well," he added.
Kudus has been on fire for the Dutch giants since being used as a false nine, scoring 10 goals in 21 appearances across all competitions, after initially finding it difficult to get into the game.
With a spectacular performance against Portugal and a historic brace against South Korea, he is also shining in the 2022 World Cup. He will play against Uruguay on Friday.
If Ghana is to defeat the South Americans and advance to the round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup, Mohammed Kudus will be crucial.
