English Premier League side West Ham United’s new sensation, Mohammed Kudus, has carved out a significant niche for himself, securing the coveted title of the third most in-form player.
This accolade comes on the heels of Kudus’ stellar performances for the Hammers since his recent move from Ajax in the last transfer window.
The 23-year-old Ghanaian attacker has been a revelation, notching up an impressive six goals in the Premier League and a total of 10 across all competitions. His defining moment came in the recent clash against Manchester United, where his decisive goal sealed a memorable 2-0 victory for West Ham.
As of the Boxing Day fixtures, Kudus boasts a commendable rating of 8.03, positioning him as the third most in-form player, trailing behind AFC Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke (8.11) and Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold (8.04), according to Whoscored.
December has been a particularly prolific month for Kudus, with four goals in the Premier League alone, earning him widespread acclaim from football enthusiasts and pundits alike.
Despite attracting interest from several top clubs during the summer transfer window, Kudus has proven his mettle at West Ham. Even Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel expressed disappointment in his former team’s decision not to secure the talented Ghanaian. Schmeichel questioned the transfer choice, favoring Kudus over Antony and remarking, “There’s something about that boy [Kudus], he’s special.”
As West Ham gears up to face Arsenal on Thursday, December 28, 2023, Kudus is determined to maintain his impressive form and continue contributing to his team’s success on the pitch.
Looking ahead, Kudus is anticipated to play a pivotal role for the Black Stars in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), scheduled to be held in Ivory Coast next month. His exceptional form in the Premier League is sure to bolster the confidence of the Ghanaian national team as they aim for success on the continental stage.
