West Ham United marked a year since completing a landmark transfer that reshaped their attacking line-up with the acquisition of Ghanaian forward Mohammed Kudus from Ajax.
The £38 million signing has surpassed expectations and quickly become a standout player for the Hammers.
Since he arrived at the London Stadium, Kudus has made a significant impact, netting 14 goals and providing 6 assists in 47 appearances.
His dynamic play has been reflected in his statistics and his exceptional skill on the ball.
Kudus has set a Premier League record by completing 100 take-ons, showcasing his dribbling prowess and agility.
Among his most memorable moments, Kudus scored a stunning solo goal against Freiburg in the Europa League, earning the Goal of the Season award for 2023/24.
