West Ham’s new £38m star boy Mohammed Kudus does it yet again and here’s a look at his latest goal
Mohammed Kudus, West Ham United’s new £38 million star boy, does it again, and here’s a look at his latest goal.
Going into the international break, West Ham fans were already enthused about new signing Mohammed Kudus.
And his performances for Ghana have only served to whet the appetites of Hammers fans even more.
In a 2-1 win over Central African Republic last week, the 23-year-old curled home a superb free-kick to help the Black Stars qualify for the African Nations.
West Ham’s new £38 million star boy Kudus has done it again, and here’s a look at his latest strike.
Kudus scored his sixth goal in three starts for club and country on Tuesday, as Ghana defeated Liberia 3-1 in a friendly.
This time, the attacker controlled the ball in the box on a pudding of a pitch and made himself half a yard with his nimble feet to roll the ball into the corner of the net.
The goal is detailed in the post below.
His goal gives him 10 goals and one assist in 14 starts for club and country in all competitions this season.
Kudus will most likely miss six West Ham games when he travels to AFCON.
And he won’t be the only Hammer on the ground in Ivory Coast between January and February.
According to Hammers News, West Ham will be missing four players for five or six games in the new year.
Ghana will be one of the favourites to advance far in the competition, with players likely to be freed at the beginning of January.
As a result, Kudus will most likely miss six games, beginning with West Ham’s FA Cup third round tie on January 6th.
He will then most likely miss Premier League games against Sheffield United, Bournemouth, Manchester United, Arsenal, and potentially Nottingham Forest, depending on how far Ghana goes and how much leave West Ham gives him after that.
If fit and picked, Kudus will be joined in AFCON by West Ham teammates Nayef Aguerd (Morocco), Said Benrahma (Algeria), and Maxwel Cornet (Ivory Coast).
He’s just played one minute for West Ham thus far, but he’s expected to start against Manchester City this weekend.
