Graham Potter’s appointment as West Ham manager marks a pivotal moment for both the club and Mohammed Kudus, who has struggled to find his rhythm this season.

The Ghanaian superstar, once heralded as one of the most exciting talents in European football, has endured a challenging campaign so far, with his performance in the 2-1 FA Cup loss to Aston Villa underscoring the work ahead.

Kudus, deployed in an advanced midfield role alongside Lucas Paqueta and Crysencio Summerville, showed flashes of promise but lacked consistency.

Despite creating two chances and completing 74% of his passes, his influence on the game was limited.

Losing 10 duels and being dispossessed multiple times, Kudus appeared far from the dynamic player fans had come to expect.

His solitary shot on target, a long-range effort with minimal threat, highlighted the need for greater creativity and precision in his play.

Potter, renowned for his ability to nurture talent and implement a cohesive playing style, may provide the perfect environment for Kudus to rediscover his best form.

With the support of a tactically astute manager, Kudus could flourish and become a vital figure for the Hammers.

The challenge is significant, but the potential rewards for both the player and the club are immense.
