MOHAMMED KUDUS looks like the latest star off the Ajax production line.
The 20-year-old Ghanian midfielder showed the Dutch club won’t miss Manchester United trickster Antony with a stunning piece of skill.
Not only that, the youngster also scored twice in a 5-0 win over Heerenveen.
But it was an outrageous piece of skill that caught the eyes of fans.
Picking up the ball in the box, Kudus was met by three Heerenveen defenders.
In a genius piece of thinking Kudus flicked the ball up with his left foot, and quickly wrapped his boot around it to send the ball towards a team-mate, completely bamboozling the defenders.

Unfortunately the manoeuvre didn’t go exactly according to plan, as the ball was sent back towards him instead of heading goalwards.
But nevertheless, fans were left in awe by the jaw-dropping piece of skill.
And supporters joked that Kudus’ skill would prompt a bid from Manchester United, after the Red Devils poached Erik ten Hag, Antony and Lisandro Martinez from Ajax over the summer.
One wrote: “Don’t let Erik [ten Hag] see this.”

While another joked: “Antony got nothing on Kudus! Period.”
Others were simply left stunned by the move, with one commenting: “This is absolutely filthy.”
And a second writing: “Never before in my life have I seen a piece like that.”
Kudus was linked with a summer move to Tottenham, while Ten Hag previously described Kudus as a player with “incredible potential”.
Fans are now starting to see signs of that potential, with Kudus scoring five goals and providing one assist in just eight games this season.
