Despite attracting attention from other clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, the 23-year-old remains focused on his future with West Ham, confident in his abilities and eager to continue his development at the club.
“I’ve enjoyed it [first season in England]. Everyone around [the Club] has helped me settle well, so it has been a nice experience. I’ve been here almost a full season now, but I still have a lot more to show and I believe this is just the beginning,” Kudus expressed to West Ham United’s media, reflecting on his journey so far.

“I followed my gut and dream to move here and believed I was ready. When I decided to make this move to the best league in the world, I knew I was ready to take that step and I wanted to test myself. There have been ups and downs throughout the season, but I know there are more ways to improve my game. I’ve definitely announced myself here and I am happy that it has gone in that direction for the first season,” Kudus added, highlighting his commitment to the challenge of playing in the Premier League.
As the season approaches its conclusion, Kudus remains optimistic about the team’s prospects, aiming for a strong finish in the remaining two games.
