Ghanaian forward, Mohammed Kudus, scored for West Ham United in a 4-1 win over Ipswich Town in the English Premier League on October 5, 2024.

Kudus headed in the ball after it bounced off the goal post, making this his first strike of the season, having struggled to find the back of the net previously.

Michail Antonio, Jarrod Bowen, and Lucas Paqueta’s goals made it four for the home side, who thumped their opponents to secure the full three points.

West Ham lie in 12th position on the league table, gaining 8 points in the eight matches they have played so far.

Meanwhile, Kudus recently had a bust-up with West Ham United coach Julen Lopetegui.

The Ghanaian forward and the Spanish coach are reported to have exchanged a few words after Kudus was hauled off in the second half of West Ham’s game against Brentford over the weekend.

According to The Athletic, the club hierarchy has informed the player's entourage that there is no tension between Kudus and Lopetegui and that the incident has been exaggerated.

Kudus reportedly clashed with the manager, expressing his dissatisfaction for being subbed off at halftime during their 1-1 draw against Brentford on September 28, 2024.

The Athletic stated that the manager had a frank exchange with the Ghanaian, criticising him for a poor performance, which was deemed unfair by the player.

However, the issue was resolved as Kudus joined his teammates on the bench to watch the rest of the game.
