Ernest Nuamah has extended his congratulations to his fellow Black Stars player, Mohammed Kudus, for becoming the top player in Europe with the most successful take-ons.

Kudus, who plays for West Ham, achieved a milestone of 103 successful dribbles following a match where the Hammers drew 2-2 with Liverpool at the Olympic Stadium. He is the first and only player in Europe's top five leagues to have reached this figure.

Despite competition from players like Leroy Sane, Kudus has excelled in one-on-one situations.

After a video showcasing Kudus' skilful manoeuvres against opponents was shared on social media, Nuamah, who plays as a winger for Olympique Lyonnais, hailed him as the "king of dribbles," using the word "Ohene," which means "king" in Twi, a Ghanaian language.

This season, Kudus has been instrumental for West Ham, scoring seven goals in the Premier League and providing five assists. His performance extends to the Europa League with five goals and he has added another in the EFL Cup.

On the other hand, Nuamah scored his third goal for Lyon in Ligue 1 during their 4-1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain two weeks prior.
