Mohammed Kudus has been linked with European clubs such as Inter Milan, AC Milan and Spurs.
Ghana striker Mohammed Kudus has been shortlisted alongside big names Haaland, Vinicius, Sancho, Rodrygo, Davies and Fati for the 2020 Golden Boy award.
Kudus has been in sensational form for Nordsjaelland helping them qualify to the Championship round after scoring nine goals in 21 Superligaen games.
The 19-year-old was also impressive on his debut for the Black Stars in his debut against South Africa, scoring within minutes of coming on in the second half.

The Golden Boy award is for young players under the age of 21 who have been exceptional in the year under review.
Italian outlet Tuttosport came up with the award in 2003, to decide the best young player in Europe, playing in one of the top tier leagues, and it has become one of Europe’s most prestigious awards.
The top 20 will be the finalists and a jury will choose the winner out of them.
Joao Félix, winner of last year’s edition, awaits a successor after his eye catching season with Benfica that earned him a big money move to Atletico Madrid.
