Ghana and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mohammed Kudus has lauded his Black Stars colleague, Crystal Palace winger Fatawu Issahaku, following his spectacular strike at the weekend.
Fatawu produced a moment of brilliance when he unleashed a thunderous effort from distance, leaving the goalkeeper rooted as the ball crashed into the net. His stunning strike proved to be the highlight of Crystal Palace’s game and further underlined his growing reputation in the Premier League.
Kudus, who himself has been in fine form since joining Spurs, took to social media to celebrate his compatriot’s resilience and talent. He wrote: “So proud of your hard work after such a huge setback paying off. Keep going on.”
The Tottenham star’s message not only applauded the wonder goal but also acknowledged Fatawu’s determination in bouncing back strongly from earlier career setbacks, including injuries and limited playing opportunities.
The camaraderie between Kudus and Fatawu has become a source of inspiration for many Ghanaian fans, who are optimistic about the Black Stars’ attacking future with the two youngsters forming a formidable partnership for the national team.
Fatawu, still only in his early twenties, is seen as one of Ghana’s brightest prospects abroad. His goal over the weekend has further cemented his reputation as a player capable of delivering on the big stage.
