Two of Ghana’s biggest stars, Mohammed Kudus and Thomas Partey, will headline the Ghanaian contingent in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night as they face off when Partey’s Villarreal CF visit Kudus’ Tottenham Hotspur.

Mohammed Kudus moved to Tottenham Hotspurs in the summer transfer window as a marquee signing for the Lily Whites after battling the likes of fellow London side Chelsea FC, as well as top German clubs like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Spurs also beat top Saudi clubs to the secure the signature of the Ghanaian international.

Kudus moved to Tottenham by virtue of getting to feature in the UEFA Champions League-- a competition he featured in during his days at Ajax Amsterdam before moving to West Ham United where the competition eluded him. He made his official debut for Spurs in the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint Germain but misses out on the title when they (UEFA Europa League winners) lost to the Champions League winners on penalty shootouts.

The 25 year-old will be looking to take off from where he stopped with Ajax in 2023 before moving to West Ham United as he comes up against his compatriot, Thomas Partey of Villarreal CF on Tuesday night.
