Ex-Ghana star Kingston urges in-demand Nordsjaelland prodigy Kudus to join Liverpool

Nordsjaelland youth coach Laryea Kingston wants in-demand prodigy Kudus Mohammed to join Liverpool insisting manager of the English giants will bring out the best in the talented star.

The 19-year-old has been the star player in the Danish top-flight this season and has appeared on the radar of some of the top European clubs thanks to his form.

The Nordsjaelland midfielder has been in great form in the Danish league this season, netting nine times in 19 league games even though he is played behind the strikers or on the wings.

He has linked to a host of ‘big boys’ including Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan.

French giants Marseille, Italian side Sampdoria and the English duo of Everton and Newcastle United have also been mentioned in the transfer rumour mill.

Now Kingston, a former Ghana international who is now a coach of the youth side of Nordsjaelland where Kudus trained, says Liverpool must be the destination of the youngster.

“At our team FCN [FC Nordsjaelland], Kudus is one of the important players and the head coach wants to build the team around him. Most of the games that he’s played, he did very well,” Kingston said.

“And now most of the big European clubs are chasing him, so it’s good for him and it’s good for the country as well.

“The only thing is he should consider a club where he feels he could play week in week out. He’s young, so when he goes and he’s playing, it’s going to build his confidence but when he goes and he doesn’t get playing time, that’s when his confidence goes down and his performance will drop.

“Looking at Newcastle and Everton, for me, I think Everton will fit his game because they give a lot of young players chances. Even the English FA mostly pick youth players at Everton [for national teams], so they will help him develop.

“I will prefer Everton but if Liverpool comes in, they are a big club with guaranteed Champions League football, I think that [Liverpool] will help him a lot more than he will get at the other two clubs [Everton and Newcastle].

“If I am in his shoes and I’m to pick between Liverpool, Everton and Newcastle, I know it’s going to be tough at Liverpool but I will choose Liverpool. Liverpool may already have a lot of good players at his position but so long as they want him, then they know what they want to do with him.”
