“We’re going through a difficult spell but everyone is trying. We are not giving up - we are still trying to make it happen, taking players on and creating chances. That’s the most important thing for me - as long as you’re trying to change the situation then it will improve.," he told West Ham's official website.

“My goals are to help the team as much as I can and win games and get points. We are in Europe now and want to make an impact as we won it last year, while we also want to challenge the top six teams in the league.”
Kudus, reflecting on their past success in clinching the UEFA Europa Conference League last season, exudes confidence in their ability to replicate that triumph. He maintains that the team approaches each game with the same winning mentality, making victory in the Europa League a tangible goal.
“Yes, 100% [we can win the UEFA Europa League]. We won the UEFA Europa Conference League last year, so we have the same mentality and approach every single game the same. It's very possible.”
As West Ham prepares for a crucial showdown against Brentford, Kudus remains resolute in his commitment to contribute to the team's resurgence and pursuit of excellence both domestically and on the European stage.
