West Ham United winger Mohammed Kudus has expressed his optimism about the upcoming season, believing he can surpass his impressive debut campaign for the club.
The Ghanaian international, who joined the Hammers from Ajax last summer, quickly established himself as a key player, contributing significantly to the team’s attacking output. Kudus attributed his success to the attacking style implemented by new manager Julen Lopetegui, which allows him the freedom to express himself on the pitch.
In an interview with the West Ham official site , he is quoted as saying:
“His [Lopetegui’s] style is how I want to play, how I want to attack as a winger and there is a lot of freedom, which allows me to do that,”
“That is the most important thing for me – that I’m allowed to play how I want to. He has different tactics and a different style, but we are all working together to push the Club to the level where we want it to be.
“To start and announce myself, it was quite a good start for me personally [last season], but I believe I still have so much in me that I can still show to everyone. We will work on it and try to double how I performed last season and be even better going forward.
“Personally, I want to do better than I did last season with numbers and performances, but most importantly help the team get back into Europe and challenge for the top six. That’s what my personal goal is around, helping the team.”
With a new season on the horizon, Kudus has set ambitious targets, aiming to improve his personal performance and help West Ham secure a place in Europe. It is great to hear such positivity from him!
