Ghanaian football stars Mohammed Kudus and Thomas Partey secured spots in the prestigious CAF Best XI for 2023, an honor presented during the awards ceremony held in Marrakech, Morocco. Kudus, formerly with Ajax and now playing for West Ham in the English Premier League, showcased his prowess by scoring 18 goals across all competitions for the Dutch club last season, in addition to netting twice for Ghana during the 2022 World Cup. His stellar performance led to a high-profile move to West Ham, with the club paying a substantial sum exceeding 40 million euros for his talents.
Partey, a key figure in Arsenal’s formidable run last season, contributed significantly to the Gunners’ second-place finish in the Premier League standings. His remarkable efforts earned him a spot in the CAF Best XI alongside Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, who received the nod ahead of Morocco’s Yassine Bounou, honored as CAF’s best goalkeeper during the ceremony.
The distinguished roster also featured notable names such as Achraf Hakimi, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, and Victor Osimhen, who was crowned the King of African Football at the event. The inclusion of Kudus and Partey in the CAF Best XI serves as a testament to their consistent excellence on the international stage, culminating in a remarkable year for both players.
