New Mohammed Kudus claim may explain his poor form for West Ham this season

Mohammed Kudus definitely hasn’t been himself for West Ham United this season.

West Ham signed Mohammed Kudus from Ajax in the summer of 2023, and he was fantastic during his debut season at the London Stadium.

However, the 24-year-old’s form for the Hammers has fallen off a cliff this season

Mohammed Kudus is being heavily linked with a West Ham exit in the summer.

It would be no surprise to see him leave.

However, West Ham might struggle to get his full release clause, due to his patchy form this season.

New Mohammed Kudus claim may explain his poor form for West Ham

Dutch football journalist Mike Verweij spoke to Soccer News, and suggested that Kudus has been unrecognisable of late:

“He’s unrecognisable. He has been in the gym, that is not normal.”

I mean, Kudus has always been very strong, but Verweij obviously knows him well having followed him closely during his spell with Ajax.

If the Ghanaian has gone to the gym and packed on the muscle, it may well have affected his pace and mobility.

The same thing actually happened with Michail Antonio a few years back.

Shock club want to sign Mohammed Kudus heading

The Hammers fans have accepted that Kudus will most likely leave the club this summer.

The thing is, West Ham require a major rebuild, and without a serious cash injection from selling Kudus, Potter won’t be able to sign the players he needs.

Selling Mohammed Kudus will be a necessary evil for West Ham, but the fact that Tottenham want to sign him really is a shock.

Surely he won’t end up there? Arsenal or Liverpool, maybe, but Tottenham? No chance.

Let’s just hope that we get the best fee possible for the 24-year-old this summer.
