ANKARA (AA) — West Ham United announced Sunday the signing of Ajax Amsterdam player Mohammed Kudus.
The Ghanaian midfielder signed a five-year contract with the English Premier League side, according to a statement.
"I've been dreaming to play in a league like this since I was a kid," said Kudus. "I've been dreaming of this moment and I'm so happy to be here."
For his part, club manager David Moyes said he was "delighted" to bring Kudus to the team.
"He's a terrific young talent, who has already shone at the very highest level for Ajax in the Champions League and made well over 150 senior appearances at the age of 23 — so it was no surprise to see so many top clubs chasing his signature this summer," he added.
Kudus bagged back-to-back Dutch league titles with Ajax in 2021 and 2022.
