Ajax midfielder Kudus Mohammed is set to join the Black Stars at the ongoing AFCON 2021 in Cameroon today, according to Saddick Adams.
The SWAG Sports Journalist of the Year reports that Kudus is expected to join the Black Stars today, Wednesday, January 12 after getting the green light from Ajax.
He claims Ghana Football Association has arranged a flight to bring Kudus to the Central African country.

Ajax were initially reluctant to release the attacking midfielder as they claimed Kudus was unfit to play after his recent recovery from a rib injury. Kudus has not played since suffering the injury in November.
But Milovan Rajevac included Kudus in his final 28-man squad, believing the 21-year-old will regain fitness and be allowed to play.
Kudus’ imminent arrival is a big boost for the team following Monday’s loss to Morocco in Yaoundé.
Sofiane Boufal’s late goal handed Ghana a rough start, and the Black Stars must improve in the remaining group games.
Kudus is likely to face Gabon on Friday and Comoros on Tuesday, both of which must be won by the Black Stars to avoid a shock first round exit.
