Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has urged Mohammed Kudus to do better in his decision-making despite his enormous talent.
Kudus returned to being decisive for West Ham United on Monday night as he set up an assist in the Hammers 4-2 win over Brentford in the Premier League.
The Ghanaian was a constant threat in Brentford's half anytime West Ham attacked and gave the Bees' defence a run for their money.
Despite his goal involvement, Neville, who now works as a pundit with Sky Sports, assessing the performance of Kudus, said the 23-year-old needs to step up his decisions when he gets to the final third.
"Kudus has got something, but he just needs to be a bit more mature in his final choices," Neville said on his podcast.
"Sometimes wingers can be unpredictable, but they need to be unpredictable not just to the opposition but also to their own teammates. In the first half, he took one or two wild shots instead of making a final pass."
"And I did say in that first half that the one thing David Moyes could say at halftime was for him to be a little bit more precise in what he was doing and that third goal came from him being more direct and putting in that lovely cross for Jarrod Bowen which was a big moment in the game."
The assist against Brentford was Kudus' first goal involvement since returning from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d'Ivoire.
