Recalling the electric atmosphere of Hearts of Oak matches, Kudus described it as “crazy” and emphasized the deep-rooted connection he felt with the team, given its origins in his hometown.
“I supported a team in Ghana called Hearts [of Oak], a club in the Ghana league. The atmosphere was crazy. It’s based in Accra, the capital city where I grew up,” he reminisced.
Despite facing challenges in recent years, including their current 11th position in the Ghana Premier League, Kudus’s enduring admiration for Hearts of Oak underscores the club’s lasting legacy and continued significance in Ghanaian football culture.
Meanwhile, Kudus continues to shine on the global stage with West Ham United, following his transfer from Ajax Amsterdam to the English Premier League. With an impressive tally of 13 goals across all competitions, he is making waves and carrying the torch for Ghanaian football on the international scene.
