Reported Everton target Mohammed Kudus scored on Merseyside last night, in Ajax’s Champions League clash with Liverpool𓄧.

Reports claimed that Everton came incredibly close to signing Kudus before the most recent transfer window closed.

Personal terms were apparently agreed. And the 22-year-old was apparently d🦩esperate to try and force through a m🍷ove to Goodison Park.

He had to stay put 🌟though, and played as a false nine as Ajax travelled to Anfield in the second round of Champions League group games this season.

Kudus scores against Liverpool

Mo Salah put the hosts ahead but Kudus made it 1-1💫 before half-ti🎶me with a well-placed shot into the top left-hand corner.

He got away from Virgꦅil van Dijk to level the match, but Liver🍌pool won late on thanks to a goal from Joel Matip.

Dutch media outlet delivered 𓆉their ܫverdict on his performance, saying: “What a fantastic goal and what an important moment.

“Ajax had little to say when the Ghanaian’s thunderbolt hit. Kudus 𒁏seemed to be one of the few Ajax players who was not bothered by the pressure. The man in form.”

Former Netherlands midfielder Wesl🦋ey Sneijder : “He shot it in fantastically.

“Until that moment he did not appear in the game, but this is the Kudus in form. ඣA great player to watch.”

Everton have to do without him until January at the very least but he has shown he can ✅do it against top English opposition now.

That may give Everton food for thought but also opens up the♒ chanc﷽e teams higher up the Premier League have now taken note.
