Ghanaian football sensation Mohammed Kudus has etched his name into West Ham United’s history books, becoming the club’s highest-scoring Ghanaian player. However, this achievement was overshadowed by a heartbreaking loss to Newcastle United in a thrilling match.

Kudus, who joined West Ham last summer, has quickly established himself as a pivotal figure for the team. His impact was evident as he netted a remarkable goal just before halftime, propelling West Ham into the lead during an intense battle against Newcastle.

Despite Kudus’ heroics, Newcastle mounted an impressive comeback, ultimately securing a 4-3 victory over West Ham.

Nevertheless, Kudus’ goal marked a significant milestone as he surpassed the previous record held by fellow Ghanaian Andre Ayew to claim the title of West Ham’s highest-scoring Ghanaian player. Notably, Kudus achieved this feat in just 35 games, compared to Ayew’s 12 goals in 50 appearances.

In addition to his prowess in finding the back of the net, Kudus leads all Ghanaians in the Premier League this season with the highest number of goal contributions, totaling 11 (seven goals and four assists).

Kudus’ scoring prowess extends beyond domestic competitions, with stellar performances in the UEFA Europa League and the EFL Cup, where he has showcased his talent with a total of 13 goals across all competitions.

Despite the jubilation surrounding his record-breaking goal, Kudus encountered a minor hiccup during his celebration. A ball boy’s reluctance to provide him with a seat for his trademark ‘take a seat’ celebration prompted Kudus to improvise by sitting on the advertising board, demonstrating his adaptability both on and off the field.
