According to the Sun, Ghanaian star Kudus, who just transferred to Tottenham, has grown up in a slum in Ghana.
Kudus grew up in one of the hardest neighborhoods in Accra, Ghana. The tin roofed houses built in the 19th century, the sleepless market and the extremely lacking opportunities - this is the real environment for Kudus to grow up. Pickpocketing and poverty surround him.
Zachary, vice-chairman of Kudus' first football club, told the Sun: "For many kids coming there, opportunities are limited. The football team has become an escape. Kudus comes to us and hardly speaks.
" He will stay with his friends for hours and you can't hear a word he says. But he is indeed a little different, very quiet, yes. But timid? Absolutely impossible. ”
Kudus went to school in the morning, counted the time, and ran to Montreal Park - a dusty place and a place where he felt hungry for victory.
Kudus was admitted to the Right to Dream Academy at the age of 13, but things didn’t go well there either.
The first coach who brought Kuudus to the academy said: “He was very shy. I think Kudus is a very determined player. We followed him for a while, but it wasn't until we played against his team that we decided to bring him in.
"He was only about 13 or 14 years old at the time. Our job was not only to cultivate them as footballers, but to make sure they grew into better people. I remember when he first joined, like most teenagers, aspiring to impress people.
"But one thing left me so much. He broke his thumb at the time and was cast, but he was still working with the band. I still remember those moments, the strength and stability he showed when he played with a plaster on his hands. ”
When the college sent an invitation at the sister club in Denmark, Kudus packed his luggage and went there. But the challenge came from all aspects: cold weather, unfamiliar diet, far from friends and family.
Dramani said: “I remember talking to him and telling him that it would be tough before it gets better. But I also told him, remember how far you have gone, remember how you used to play with your broken thumb, and prove to him that you are worth ten minutes when the coach gives you five minutes of playing time.
"Then, when you have ten minutes, you work hard to get 20 minutes. In Europe, the efforts you put in will pay off. His efforts did work, he caused a sensation in Denmark, and soon Ajax sent him an invitation."
