Ghana star, Mohammed Kudus, has admitted that his start to life at West Ham United was difficult when he joined the Hammers from Ajax at the beginning of the 2023/24 season.
The 23-year-old waited over two months to start his first Premier League against Everton in October last year.
Many called for Kudus to start games due to his cameo performances, but David Moyes eased him into action.
At the conclusion of the season, Mohammed Kudus scored 14 goals, including some dazzling strikes and provided six assists across all competitions.
“The start was a bit difficult because I was buckled up and ready to get going,” he told the Athletic.
“But sometimes you have to lay back a bit and get used to everything; get it slowly and then take it on.
“I had so much belief and confidence in myself but the people with more experience, like David Moyes (West Ham’s manager at the time), knew better how the league was (than the Dutch Eredivisie).”
Mohammed Kudus won the West Ham Goal of the Season with his wonder solo strike against Freiburg in the Europa League and finished behind Jarrod Bowen as the club’s Player of the Season.
