West Ham United midfielder Mohammed Kudus says there is no real intention behind his recent goal celebration despite other people trying to find meaning to it.
Kudus has taken to sitting on the advertising hoardings and waiting for his teammates to mob him after scoring, a celebration that has become a trademark for him since joining the Hammers.
The celebration has become so viral that many others have also gone ahead to choose the same style.
Leicester City's Stephy Mavididi and Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho with the latter's coming the Red Devils' win over the Hammers in the Premier League earlier this year.
Speaking to The Guardian, Kudu explained the rationale behind the recent celebration.
"I just thought about something out of the box and then some other people followed it up," Kudus said.
"Now there’s a conversation about whose is better. I’ll have to come up with another juice and put more spices in the tin. It’s all about resting after scoring a goal.
"There’s no deeper meaning. I just see it as entertainment, something to make people happy and worth the ticket that they bought. I’m still just having fun in the playground."
He jokingly added that other players are 'allowed' to replicate what he does but it would soon come at a fee.
"They’re allowed to do it," Kudus added. "But soon they will have to start paying taxes."
Kudus will be in action on Saturday in the Premier League when West Ham take on Newcastle United.
