Mohammed Kudus says he is fully committed to representing his country in competitions.

The West Ham United player is anxious to make his Africa Cup of Nations debut in Cote D'Ivoire after missing the last edition in Cameroon two years ago. The former Ajax Amsterdam man has been working hard in training to shrug off an injury that kept him on the sidelines for two weeks.

So for me to be part of the squad in a country of 30 million is a huge privilege that comes with a lot of responsibilities so I don’t joke with national team football'' Kudus said.

''It’s a big privilege for me, my family and everyone. There is a lot pressure from the country and you literally playing for the whole nation so representing my country is a big privilege and I always see it a big opportunity to make the people happy so we going to do our best for the country''.

''I am fully committed to it. I always do my best when I am in the shirt so we just urge the fans for more support and prayers and we are going to do our best in the tournament'' he added.
