Ghana star, Mohammed Kudus, says he tries to set a good example for kids who look up to him as a mentor in his native country.

Kudus has since cemented his place as a household name with his eye-catching performances in the most competitive league in the world as well as European competitions.
“A lot to be grateful for, you know, but also it comes with a lot of responsibilities, you know, because I believe there's a lot of kids from my country that look up to me,” Kudus told the Premier League.
“So in as much as I'm not perfect and I try to be myself, I try to set a good example for them.”
