Kudus returns to Nima for heartfelt community initiative
The West Ham United star visited his old school as part of a community outreach initiative spearheaded by the KudusDream Foundation in collaboration with Skechers, his official apparel partner.
The visit formed part of a broader effort to invest in the very environment that nurtured his early steps in life.
During the visit, Kudus made generous donations, including football kits, books, and various school supplies.
These items were handed over to the school’s current pupils to help promote both academic excellence and sports development.
As part of the engagement, Kudus led a close-knit session dubbed “Moment with the Starboy,” where he opened up about his journey, from school life in Nima to the global stage.
He encouraged the students to stay focused, work hard, and believe in their dreams.

On Sunday, June 29, Academy Eleven, an Accra-based side, emerged as champions of the tournament’s maiden edition, per Ghanasoccernet.

Tottenham show interest in Mohammed Kudus
According to Matt Law of The Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur have made Mohammed Kudus a top transfer priority this summer.
The Ghanaian star is reportedly on the radar of incoming Spurs manager Thomas Frank, who is keen on bolstering his attack with a high-quality forward.
Sources suggest that Kudus could be available for a fee below his reported £85 million release clause, making him an even more attractive prospect for the North London club.
