Renowned football agent Jennifer Mendelewitsch has disclosed that Ghanaian football sensation Mohammed Kudus harbored discontent with his former agency prior to enlisting her services.
Under Mendelewitsch's expert guidance, Kudus has experienced a remarkable ascent in his career, standing out as one of Ghana's most promising talents.
His trajectory, notably from his participation in Ghana's U-17 squad at the FIFA World Cup in India in 2017, has been nothing short of exceptional.
Yet, the foundation of Kudus' success can be traced back to his U-17 teammate, Aminu Mohammed, who played an instrumental role in recommending him to Mendelewitsch.
In an interview with RMC, Mendelewitsch shared the backstory of how Aminu brought the frustrated Kudus to her attention.
"So, I met him (Kudus) when he was in his last season at Nordsjaeland. I met him through another Ghanaian player at the time, who was at Manchester City.
"And this player spoke to me about Kudus. And I'll be honest, I wasn't following the Danish championship, it wasn't a championship I watched very much.
"And then he tells me that he has a friend who is at Nordsjaeland who is not very happy with the way his agents are handling his situation."
"So after, I met Kudus. I met him in Paris and then several times in Denmark, and that was that.
"He explained his situation to me, that he was contracted to a big well-known English agency and that he was not happy about the way the agency was treating him and his career and future transfer.
"In fact, Kudus was simply demanding transparency, that was really his criterion. He needed to know what was going on, like which clubs are really interested, who makes an offer...
"And above all, he is a player who is extremely independent and who needs to know they are in control of their situation…
"I'm not going to denigrate his agency but they can be good when you're the star player or one of the star players. But back then, Kudus was a young Ghanaian golden boy coming off a very big season."
