Ajax Amsterdam new signing Mohammed Kudus has revealed his veneration for Ghana captain Andre Ayew.

The 19-year-old claims he draws a lot of inspiration from the Swansea City ace.

Kudus made a high profile move to the Eredivisie outfit this summer from Danish Superliga side Nordsjaelland.

His transfer fee was reported to be €9 million.

''I have quite a few but I will say Andre Ayew. When I was growing up I looked up to him. Most of the time he motivated me as well,'' Kudus told Ajax TV in a Q&A session.

Kudus has settled in well at his new club and given a good account of himself in the friendly matches against Wolfsberger and Red Bull Salzburg.
