Barcelona sporting director Jordi Cruyff says he’s been monitoring Mohammed Kudus

Barcelona sporting director Jordi Cruyff has admitted he’s been monitoring Mohammed Kudus who has impressed at the World Cup with Ghana.

Kudus scored twice against South Korea last time out and Cruyff admits he’s been following the youngster for some time now.

“I saw him play a year ago and have followed his progress at Ajax,” he said. “But we’re not at the point of saying ‘Barca want this player,’ not at all.”

“He is a player that has caught the attention with his performances and goals at the World Cup. He’s caught my attention especially because there is a debate in the Netherlands about his position, whether he’s an advanced midfielder or a forward.
