He's special - West Ham's Jarrod Bowen showers praises on Kudus

West Ham United secured a resounding 5-0 victory over Freiburg in the Europa League Round of 16, with Ghanaian talent Mohammed Kudus stealing the spotlight.

The win propelled West Ham into the quarterfinals with a commanding 5-1 aggregate triumph, bouncing back from a 1-0 loss in Germany.

Kudus showcased his exceptional talent with a remarkable brace with his first goal being hailed as a potential goal of the season winner. Picking up the ball in his own half, he weaved past defenders before calmly slotting home.

This feat left England international Jarrod Bowen impressed, who also found the net in the match.

In his post-game remarks, Bowen expressed admiration for Kudus' skills, praising his directness, goal-scoring ability, and composure.

“The number of times he won the ball back and dribbled and kept on running with the ball. He’s so direct, has an eye for goal, and even had the composure to finish it with his right foot despite being a left-footed player. I’m really happy for him.”

“He [Kudus] is a special player and I see it when he dribbles all the time. I enjoy playing with Mo and he enjoys playing with me and we have a connection. Here’s to more goals.”

Bowen's acknowledgement underscores Kudus' growing influence at West Ham and signals a promising partnership between the two players. With Kudus' stellar performances, the duo aims to contribute more goals to West Ham's success in future matches.

The Ghana international has now tallied an impressive five goals in seven appearances in the Europa League this season.
