West Ham Online

"OS West Ham United sign Mohammed Kudus West Ham United are delighted to announce the signing of Mohammed Kudus. The Hammers fought off intense competition from some of Europe‚Äôs leading clubs to secure the services of the exciting Ghana international attacker from Ajax. The 23-year-old joins the Irons on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee, becoming the Club‚Äôs third major summer signing following his former Ajax teammate and Mexico international Edson ?Ålvarez and England midfielder James Ward-Prowse. A strong all-round player and prolific dribbler capable of making and scoring goals, Kudus has established himself as one of European football‚Äôs most sought after young players. Now, he has brought his talents to London Stadium. ‚ÄúI‚Äôve been dreaming to play in a league like this since I was a kid,‚Äù said Kudus, who will wear the No14 shirt at West Ham. ‚ÄúI‚Äôve been dreaming of this moment and I‚Äôm so happy to be here. But it doesn‚Äôt stop here, I want to keep going. ‚ÄúI try my best to entertain the fans as I think that‚Äôs what football is all about. I‚Äôm just here to do my best and help the team. I‚Äôm really happy to be here. I will fight for the badge. I can‚Äôt wait to get started.‚Äù David Moyes is looking forward to working with Kudus, who scored four goals in six UEFA Champions League group-stage appearances for Ajax last season. ‚ÄúI‚Äôm delighted we‚Äôve been able to bring Mohammed to West Ham United,‚Äù said the manager. ‚ÄúHe‚Äôs a terrific young talent, who has already shone at the very highest level for Ajax in the Champions League and made well over 150 senior appearances at the age of 23 ‚Äì so it was no surprise to see so many top clubs chasing his signature this summer. ‚ÄúThe fact we‚Äôve been able to attract a player of his undoubted quality to London Stadium shows the pull West Ham have now ‚Äì the Board and Tim deserve huge credit for getting this one over the line.‚Äù Born in the suburb of Nima in Ghana‚Äôs capital city Accra in August 2000, Kudus joined the famous Right to Dream football academy at the age of ten. He spent seven years there before joining Danish club Nordsj?¶lland at 17 in January 2018. The 5‚Äô9 player established himself as a regular at Nordsj?¶lland. Playing as a striker or in a midfield role, he scored 14 goals in his 57 appearances across three seasons. Kudus‚Äô performances for Nordsj?¶lland attracted the attention of Ajax, with then-head coach Erik ten Hag praising his ‚Äòincredible potential‚Äô following the then-19-year-old‚Äôs switch to Amsterdam in July 2020. That praise proved well-founded as the youngster scored one goal and assisted three more in his opening three appearances for the club. The 2022/23 season saw Kudus take his game to a new level, with goals against Liverpool, Napoli and Rangers in the Champions League, eleven more in the Dutch Eredivisie and one each in the UEFA Europa League, Dutch Cup and Johan Cruyff Shield, taking his total to 19 goals and seven assists in all competitions. Unsurprisingly, given those numbers, Kudus also started all three group games for Ghana at the 2022 FIFA World Cup finals in Qatar, where he netted twice in a 3-2 victory over South Korea. All in, he has seven goals and three assists in 24 caps for his country. Everyone at West Ham United would like to welcome Mohammed to the Club and wish him every success in Claret and Blue."

“I try my best to entertain the fans as I think that’s what football is all about. I’m just here to do my best and help the team. I’m really happy to be here. I will fight for the badge. I can’t wait to get started.” Has Tim introduced this guy to Moyes yet ?!?!

Kudos to whoever made this transfer happen. Can't believe nobody has made that joke already. Site has gone to the dogs.

"That’s it Iron Duke, worried about getting the signing over the line."

"Welcome Mo, son."

"Well done the club for getting this over the line. I said just before we sold Rice that it didn’t need to be a huge negative and if we used the money wisely we had a chance of using it to bring in 3 decent players and improve the team overall. It’s early days but the Rice money has brought us JWP, Alvarez & Kudus and that looks like a decent upgrade on the team."

She has just realised that there is a missed call on her phone from a Saudi number.

Tim has definitely just let one off in that picture.

Looks like an excellent signing. Another striker and maybe a full back. Really pleased with what we’ve done this window.

"I feel this is a turning point for us. We have struggled to sign players that interest top European sides, but I think we are getting there."

The Doris in the picture needs to cheer the fuck up

Have rolled a big old skool tulip filled with some lovely Orange Sherbet to celebrate this

Bunch of dickheads managing social media. I think the Greek would consider himself a major signing.

"brilliant signing, tim continues to get deals done. was romano on the plane? fucking watermark ?üòÇ"
