The 22-year-old was not on the scoresheet in Thursday’s Dutch Cup tie against De Graafschap but provided an assist as Ajax won 3-0.
However, in rich form, he has contributed 16 goals and four assists in all competitions.
Reacting to Kudus’ latest performance against De Graafschap after the game, Ajax boss Heitinga said the Ghanaian has exceptional quality.
“Mohammed Kudus is a player of exceptional quality. He can pass players, he is very good in small spaces, this is the type of player you go to the stadium with,” said.
Meanwhile, three-time Ballon d’Or winner Marco van Basten has rated Kudus as a better player than Manchester United star Antony.
Kudus and Antony played together at Ajax for two years, before the Brazilian secured a €100 million transfer to the Red Devils last summer.
Van Basten, who won many domestic and European trophies with Ajax and AC Milan as well as the Euros with the Netherlands, though, believes Kudus is better than Antony.
“I find Mohammed Kudus a better footballer than Antony,” Van Basten said while on punditry duty.
“Antony has the skills, but he’s confused by what he’s doing. Mohammed Kudus is also more technical. This is someone who can be placed anywhere on the field, he is very versatile.
Kudus scored two goals in the Qatar 2022 World Cup for Ghana and is currently the best young player in the world.
