Players have come and gone. We had the Abedi Pele era, Stephen Appiah era, Michael Essien era and the Asamoah Gyan era and now it looks like it\u2019s Kudus\u2019 era.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean he is the only Ghanaian player performing in Europe. And not just in any league, but in the Premier League,\u201d Gyan added.<\/p>\n<p>Akonnor, supporting Gyan, highlighted in an interview with Akoma FM that Kudus should be the focal point of the team due to his exceptional performances for both club and country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe earlier, of course, the better. Yes, our captain and his brother have performed admirably for the team, but given the current trend, it makes more sense to center Black Stars around Mohammed Kudus. He (Kudus) has shown everyone wrong about his ability to be the next big thing, it makes sense for us to get started as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a
