West Ham United’s Mohammed Kudus is eager to make a mark as the Hammers prepare for a high-stakes Premier League showdown against Aston Villa on Sunday. Scheduled to kick off at 16:30 GMT at Villa Park, the Ghanaian international is determined to help his side secure a crucial victory.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Kudus emphasized the importance of staying focused in a competitive league where points are hard-earned. Reflecting on the team’s journey under Graham Potter, he admitted the challenges of the Premier League but remained optimistic about the club’s potential to climb the table.

“It’s a tough league. It takes a lot to get points,” Kudus explained. “But it’s also very tight, with only small gaps between teams. Winning a few games can quickly push us up the standings. That’s why we’re fully focused on preparing for each match and staying consistent week in, week out.”

The 23-year-old attacker highlighted the importance of Sunday’s game, seeing it as a chance for the Hammers to make a strong statement.

“We’ve had a solid week of training to align with the manager’s vision and approach. This is a big game for us, and we see it as an opportunity to show what we’re capable of,” Kudus added.

With Aston Villa thriving under Unai Emery, West Ham faces a tough test, but Kudus is confident the Hammers can rise to the occasion and secure a vital result.
