Mohammed Kudus absolutely has to start for West Ham United against FK TSC Bačka Topola in the Europa League on Thursday night.
West Ham signed Mohammed Kudus from Ajax in the summer transfer window for around £38 million, and the Europa League clash on Thursday night will be the perfect chance for him to get up to speed.

David Moyes deserves huge credit for bringing the 23-year-old to the Hammers in the summer, with so many of Europe’s top clubs allegedly interested in signing him.
However, the Scot has admitted that Kudus needs more time to settle into life at the London Stadium.
And this week’s upcoming Europa League game should represent a big chance for the Ghanaian to find his feet…

The Serbian outfit are obviously far inferior to the Hammers.
So the former Ajax man should be afforded more time and space to work his magic.
Kudus desperately needs some real game-time now – at least 60 or 70 minutes and a goal or an assist would do his confidence the world of good.
He has only played 23 minutes for West Ham so far this season and we need him firing on all cylinders as soon as possible (Transfermarkt).
One thing I would say is that the 23-year-old is definitely better when deployed centrally rather than out on either wing.
The big challenge for Moyes will be to figure out a way of getting Kudus, Paqueta, Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse into the same team without losing the aerial strength that Tomas Soucek brings.
West Ham United’s Europa League clash with Bačka Topola will represent the Scot with the ideal opportunity to experiment.
