Mohammed Kudus joined West Ham towards the end of the transfer window, but he seemingly wanted an assurance about Lucas Paqueta first.
According to The Athletic, Mohammed Kudus had one question for West Ham director of football Tim Steidten before he committed to moving to the London Stadium, and it was regarding Lucas Paqueta.

The 23-year-old attacking midfielder will undoubtedly be a huge hit with the Hammers, and Edson Alvarez’s comments about him from a few years ago should have the fans really excited.
Kudus is a truly elite player. The fact that we signed him is still amazing to me.
However, before he signed on the dotted line, it seems as though he wanted assurances about one very specific thing…
One question Mohammed Kudus wanted Tim Steidten to answer about Lucas Paqueta before agreeing to join West Ham
The Athletic claim that Kudus wanted to know whether or not Paqueta was staying at the London Stadium this season, and if he was, would that limit his own playing time.
Steidten allegedly promised the Ghana international that he will be able to fit into the team alongside the Brazil intrernational.
Wow, how exciting is the prospect of seeing Kudus and Paqueta link up together!
The 23-year-old has so much ability and he will take this Hammers team to a whole new level entirely once he’s up to speed with the Premier League.
Hopefully the club are able to match his ambitions.
The fact that Lucas Paqueta remained at West Ham with Mohammed Kudus being signed as well, is evidence that there is every chance we can do just that.
