Mohammed Kudus. INSET: Asamoah Gyan<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Ghana captain, Asamoah Gyan, believes it is time to build the new Black Stars around talismanic midfielder Mohammed Kudus.<\/p>\n

The West Ham United star has been in devastating form since moving to England, hogging the headlines with swashbuckling displays and phenomenal goals.<\/p>\n

Kudus netted his 13th goal of the campaign against Newcastle United on Sunday, edging Andre Ayew to become the Ghanaian with the most goals at West Ham.<\/p>\n

Gyan insists the red-hot attacking midfielder should be the fulcrum of the Black Stars team.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far it\u2019s obvious, it is Mohammed Kudus,\u201d he said on Asempa FM<\/em><\/strong> when asked about who the team should be built around. \u201cWhen I was coming up we had the Michael Essiens, the Stephen Appiahs, and it came to my time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been good players, there was the Abedi Pele era, Stephen Appiah era, Michael Essien era and there was my era. Now it is Kudus because he is the only Ghanaian doing well, and it is not just anywhere but in England. In fact, he is the only African player for now that is doing well, so we have to support him,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Kudus missed Ghana\u2019s international friendlies against Nigeria and Uganda last month due to a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n
