Mohammed Kudus, a midfielder for Ajax, has clarified that his refusal to practice was not motivated by his forced departure from the team as had been reported in the media, but rather by a mental illness.
Kudus showed up for training but didn’t take part in the Wednesday session.
Kudus had agreed personal terms with Everton, who had made a bid to sign the Ghanaian during the recent transfer window.
The 22-year-old, dissatisfied with his bench position, agreed to Everton’s offer, but Ajax refused to approve any transfer, not even a loan.
On Saturday, Kudus scored his first goal of the year as Ajax thrashed Cambuur 4-0. The Black Stars star later informed reporters that he had moved past his failed transfer.
“I’m excited about what lies ahead. Since I’m here, my attention is on the club. I’m giving it my all to assist the squad succeed “said Kudus.
Kudus claimed that his decision to forgo training was a result of his emotional state.
There was a lot of activity. Furthermore, mental wellness is crucial. I spoke with the trainer about this. That’s how it transpired. I got ready for today’s game during the ensuing days.
Despite being one of the top players throughout the preseason, Kudus has come off the bench to start every Ajax game.
