He was unveiled by the Hammers last Saturday and has been handed the number 14 shirt, looking very poised and ready for his possible debut against Luton Town this Friday.
In an interview with the Athletic, the experienced tactician says Kudus has another platform to improve his game and us very impressed he is finally in the Premier League;
"I’ve known Mohammed for over a year and he’s a talented player."
“He’s had a good upbringing and he’s developed over the last few years at Ajax. If you look at what they’ve done for young players, Kudus has now followed that path. He has versatility and is a player that is still developing.”
“He’s been at a top club in Ajax and now he’s joined another in West Ham. He will need time to adapt but this will be another part of his development and I hope he settles in well. I’m really delighted to see him in the Premier League.”
Chris Hughton in his playing days, also featured for the Hammers for two seasons from the period of 1990 - 1992.
