Conversely, Vinicius Jr. was crucial in Real Madrid's success last season, helping the team secure both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League titles. Despite being a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or, Taylor contends that Vinicius does not measure up to Kudus.

He further noted that the quality exhibited by Kudus is unmatched by Vinicius, attributing this disparity to a lack of belief in local talent and the subpar quality of playing surfaces in Ghana.

Taylor, who was a standout player in the Ghana Premier League from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, was part of the illustrious Hearts of Oak team known as the 64 Battalion, which achieved a treble of league titles, the FA Cup, and the CAF Champions League in 2000.

Meanwhile, both Mohammed Kudus and Vinicius Jr. are set to return to competitive action for their respective clubs in the Premier League and La Liga.
