Ghanaian star Mohammed Kudus has spotlighted Dutch-born Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong as the potential breakout star of the 2024 European Championship.

Kudus made this prediction during an interview with West Ham media, reflecting on his own exceptional debut season at the London club following a high-profile transfer from Dutch giants Ajax.

The 2024 Euros commenced on Friday, June 14, in Germany, with the host nation delivering a resounding 5-1 victory over Scotland. Switzerland also started strong with a 3-1 win over Hungary in Group A.

In a standout performance, Swiss striker Kwadwo Duah, who has Ghanaian roots, scored his first goal for Switzerland. Additionally, Nico Williams, also of Ghanaian descent, played a pivotal role in Spain's 3-0 win over Croatia.

Frimpong, aged 23, has been in remarkable form, shining in Bayer Leverkusen's Bundesliga and German Cup-winning campaign. The talented defender racked up nine goals and nine assists in 31 Bundesliga matches, contributing a total of 14 goals and 12 assists across 47 games in all competitions.

Frimpong made his debut for the Netherlands on October 13, 2023, coming on as a substitute in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match against France. The Netherlands are set to play Poland in their opening game at the 2024 Euros on Sunday.

Kudus' endorsement of Frimpong comes as no surprise, given the latter's impressive performances and significant contributions at the club level.
