Atanga rejects Kudus comparison after Major League Soccer move

Ghanaian winger Isaac Atanga believes he has made the right decision to continue his career in the United States, amid criticism that he could have followed in the footsteps of compatriot Mohammed Kudus to join an elite club in Europe.

After three years with Danish outfit Nordsjaelland, Atanga left for Major League Soccer side Cincinnati FC, signing a three-year contract, after links to Scottish champions Rangers, Spanish side Alaves, Dutch outfit Feyenoord and Belgian duo Anderlecht and Club Brugge.

Until last season, he played together with Kudus, who joined Dutch giants Ajax last summer after impressing in the Superliga.
