Ghana and Ajax new boy Kudus progresses in Golden Boy award race

New Ajax Amsterdam signing Mohammed Kudus has made it to the next stage of the contest for the 2020 Golden Boy Award.

Initially shortlisted among 100 candidates, the 19-year-old Ghana international joined 79 others for the second round after a first round of public votes.

The list will continuously be whittled down by public votes until the final 20 when journalists get to have a say.

The award, organised by Italian magazine Tuttosport, seeks to honour the most outstanding young talent aged 21 or under in Europe.

Kudus completed a transfer from Danish outfit Nordsjaelland to Ajax on Thursday after scoring 11 times in 25 league appearances this season.
