Ghanaian and Ajax star Mohammed Kudus says his latest position played in the team under John Heitinga is good for his development.

Heitinga has played the 22-year-old as a right winger since he took over as Ajax’s interim Head Coach.

The new position adds up to the number of roles the Ghanaian has played for the Eredivisie club since joining them in 2020, the last being as the striker under Alfred Schreuder.

Having scored the match winner in the game against FC Twente, Kudus claimed the new position is key to his development as a player.

“It is a new position for me and therefore also good for my development. We also sometimes switch positions. That also makes us unpredictable as a team,” he said after Thursday night’s game.

Kudus also spoke on the need for Ajax to beat Twente while touching on their performance.

“This third win in a row gives us a huge boost. It wasn’t an easy game [vs Twente], but the most important thing was to make it to the next round of the cup. “We didn’t play our best football, but we did stay close together. We did that right,” he added.

With his goal against Twente, Kudus has now scored 13 goals for Ajax this season in 27 appearances across all competitions.
