How Stephen Appiah, West Ham legend, football fans reacted to Kudus’ move to West Ham

There was double joy for West Ham over the weekend as they followed up their 3-1 thumping of Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, August 26, 2023, with the announcement of the acquisition of the Ghanaian forward cum midfielder.

West Ham paid 45 million euros in total package for the 23-year-old and he was unveiled in style with a UK-based Ghanaian rapper, creating a song for the unveiling.

West Ham United coach, David Moyes was elated to have Kudus within his ranks and spoke highly of the player.

“The fact we’ve been able to attract a player of his undoubted quality to London Stadium shows the pull West Ham have now – the Board and Tim deserve huge credit for getting this one over the line.”

“I’m delighted we’ve been able to bring Mohammed to West Ham United,” said the manager,” Moyes said.

“He’s 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 – so it was no surprise to see so many top clubs chasing his signature this summer.” He said.

On social media, some Ghanaian footballers and ex-West Ham United players have been reacting to the move.

Stephen Appiah posted emojis in response while West Ham cult hero Anton Ferdinand praised Kudus’ talent and the club for getting him.
