Mohammed Kudus has been absolutely sensational for West Ham United since David Moyes brought him to the club in the summer of 2023.
Aaron Cresswell, Kudus’s coworker, hinted that in the interim, the left-footed superstar-in-the-making would only continue to improve.
The former Ajax star agreed to a contract for an estimated £38 million with the Hammers eight months ago (Sky Sports).
He has accumulated an incredibly impressive 13 goals and four assists in 38 games for West Ham thus far (Transfermarkt).
Kudus has been a genuine bright spark for us this year. But could he get any better? His latest comments seem to indicate that he very definitely could.
Kudus’s fellow colleague Aaron Cresswell implied that the left-footed superstar-in-the-making would just get better and better in the interim.
Eight months ago, the former Ajax player signed a contract with the Hammers for an estimated £38 million (Sky Sports).
In 38 games for West Ham thus far, he has amassed an extraordinarily remarkable 13 goals and four assists (Transfermarkt).
For us this year, Kudus has been a true bright spark. Could he improve farther, though? It appears from his most recent remarks that he most certainly could.
Mohammed Kudus tells David Moyes he wants to play in different position
The former Ajax star has left his manager in no doubt whatsoever where he should be playing for West Ham.
Kudus sat down for a wide-ranging interview with Sky Sports about all things football.
When asked what his best position is, the Ghanaian responded by saying:
Like an offensive midfielder with a number 10. From my early childhood, I have spent all of my years playing there. I’ve always been a midfielder, however I have recently played on the wings and occasionally even as a striker.
The ideal situation would be for Moyes to sign an excellent center-forward, such as Ivan Toney, and retain Lucas Paqueta through the summer.
Then, Kudus may start at number 10, with Jarrod Bowen in his ideal position wide on the right.
I agree with the Ghanaian that the number 10 position is his ideal one, but I feel like he is wasted on the left wing despite his clear advantages when playing on the other side.
We might be in serious danger from his amazing footwork and deft ball control in and around the opposition’s penalty area.
Will Moyes, however, pay attention to Kudus and put him in his own, admittedly ideal position? It will have to wait and see, but if he doesn’t, this won’t be the first time that the Scot’s obstinacy has prevented us from becoming a better team!
One good example of this is how Pablo Fornals was forced into a left-wing role for the most of Moyes’s stint. Hopefully, Kudus doesn’t wind up following the Spaniard’s path.
