Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus has been honored with West Ham United’s Goal of the Season Award, marking a significant achievement for the talented player.

The announcement of Kudus’s win came today as part of West Ham’s end-of-season awards ceremony, heralding the beginning of accolades for the London club.

Kudus’s exceptional goal, the first of a memorable brace in West Ham’s commanding 5-0 victory over German side SC Freiburg in the Europa League Round of 16, stood out among the entries in the category.

In a remarkable display of skill, the former Ajax Amsterdam player seized the ball in his own half, maneuvered past two Freiburg defenders, and executed a stunning finish with his weaker right foot.

The match also witnessed the introduction of Kudus’s new celebratory style, as the Ghanaian opted for a steward’s stool over the customary perch on an advertising board near the pitch.

Kudus continued to make an impact in West Ham’s penultimate league fixture of the 2023-2024 season against Luton Town, contributing with an assist in their 3-1 victory. This game marked the final home match under the management of David Moyes, who announced his departure.

The appointment of former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Julen Lopetegui as Moyes’s successor has stirred some controversy within the football community.

In his debut season with West Ham, Kudus has showcased his prowess with seven goals and five assists in 31 league appearances.
