Mohammed Kudus has finally opened up about his failed transfer to Everton during the summer transfer window.
The English Premier League side were keen on the Ghanaian midfielder who was not happy about his playing time at Ajax at the beginning of the season.
Kudus reportedly boycotted training in an attempt to force a move to Merseyside but the Dutch club ultimately stood their ground and refused to sell.
The 22 year old has since become Ajax’s most standout player with over 20 goal contributions across all competition in the ongoing campaign.
Speaking in an interview with De Telegraaf, Kudus reflected on how he felt during this transfer saga.
“The fact that Ajax blocked a transfer to Everton last summer disappointed me. I thought it was time for a new chapter in my career because I wasn’t playing here.
“But the moment the transfer market closed, my full focus was back on Ajax. The only reason I wanted to leave before that was because of my reserve role. I eliminated that problem myself. Everton are not doing well in the Premier League, Ajax are in the title race and under John Heitinga, I am a permanent fixture. I have a strong faith in God and he has made the positive decision for me not to let the transfer go through.”
