Kudus has started in all three friendly matches Ajax have played so far, scoring against Eupen, RB Salzburg and Shakhtar Donetsk.
He has also been played in a variety of positions under new manager Schreuder, who has deployed the midfielder as a right winger and a false striker.
And Schreuder believes the Ghanaian prodigy would thrive more in the coming season, while highlighting his special qualities.
