The official signing of Mohammed Kudus by English Premier League side, West Ham United was announced on Sunday, August, 27.

The Hammers fought off intense competition from some of Europe’s leading clubs to secure the services of the exciting Ghana international attacker from Dutch giants Ajax.

The 23-year-old joins the Hammers on a five-year contract for a fee becoming the Club’s third major summer signing following his former Ajax teammate and Mexico international Edson Álvarez and England midfielder James Ward-Prowse.

Aside from photos shared by the club, one particular family photo has gained traction on social media.

It captures four persons. Kudus and his mother, sandwiched by two of his brothers at the home grounds of his new side.

People on social media are celebrating how Kudus carries his family along at epochal moments of his career.








A strong all-round player and prolific dribbler capable of making and scoring goals, Kudus has established himself as one of European football’s most sought-after young players. Now, he has brought his talents to the London Stadium.

Speaking to West Ham media, Kudus who will wear the No. 14 shirt at West Ham said “I’ve been dreaming of playing in a league like this since I was a kid.

“I’ve been dreaming of this moment and I’m so happy to be here. But it doesn’t stop here, I want to keep going."

He added “I try my best to entertain the fans as I think that’s what football is all about. I’m just here to do my best and help the team. I’m really happy to be here. I will fight for the badge. I can’t wait to get started.”

The 2022/23 season saw Kudus take his game to a new level, with goals against Liverpool, Napoli, and Rangers in the Champions League, eleven more in the Dutch Eredivisie and one each in the UEFA Europa League, Dutch Cup, and Johan Cruyff Shield, taking his total to 19 goals and seven assists in all competitions.
