Video: Mohammed Kudus Appears to Wave Ajax Fans Final Goodbye After Hat Trick Heroics

Ajax's Mohammed Kudus, the Ghanaian football sensation, has reportedly moved closer to departing the club. In a recent noteworthy development, Kudus managed to achieve a remarkable feat by securing a hat-trick during Ajax's triumph over Ludogorets. Adding to the intrigue, West Ham United is currently in the advanced stages of securing a deal to acquire the services of this skilled midfielder.

The impending departure of Mohammed Kudus from Ajax was perhaps underlined by his standout performance during their encounter against Ludogorets within the Europa League. The 23-year-old talent demonstrated his prowess by successfully netting three goals, propelling the Dutch powerhouse to a resounding victory over their Bulgarian opponents in the initial leg of the competition.

As the negotiation process between Ajax and West Ham United progresses towards its conclusive phase, it appears increasingly likely that Kudus may not participate in the second leg of the fixture, set to take place in Amsterdam. Fans of both clubs are eagerly awaiting the outcome of these discussions, which are anticipated to be finalized in the upcoming days.

In a touching display of appreciation and possibly a farewell gesture, a video circulating on social media captures Mohammed Kudus acknowledging the supporters of Ajax. The footage portrays Kudus waving to the fans while clutching his well-deserved match ball from the triumphant hat-trick performance.

“[Tonight's Europa League playoff vs Ludogorets] was my final game here at Ajax. But let's see what happens in the next day. The talks are going on. We have to see if an agreement is reached in the next days,” said the midfielder in a post-match interview.

Kudus joined Ajax in 2020, winning two Eredivisie titles and one KNVB Cup.
