Ghana attacker Mohammed Kudus' stunning solo strike against Freiburg has been nominated for the 2024 Puskás Award by FIFA.
The 24-year-old scored the goal during West Ham’s 5-0 victory over the German club in the round of 16 of the Europa League in March 2024.
With the Hammers leading 3-0, the Black Stars attacking midfielder collected the ball inside his side's half and embarked on a Lionel Messi-esque solo run, beating three Freiburg players before smashing the ball into the net.

He finished that Europa League campaign with five goals in nine matches and delivered many entertaining performances.
Mohammed Kudus will be vying for the award alongside Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, who scored a spectacular bicycle kick against Everton that was named Premier League Goal of the Season.
