Arne Slot (L) and Mohammed Kudus (R)
West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus has earned high praise from Liverpool manager Arne Slot following his standout performance against Liverpool on Sunday, April 13, 2025.
After Arsenal’s slip-up against Brentford the previous day, the Reds had a golden opportunity to close in on the Premier League title.
However, it wasn’t an easy task, as they were pushed all the way, requiring a late winner from captain Virgil van Dijk to secure the three points.
Although Liverpool eventually won the game, the Dutchman admitted after the match that West Ham’s resurgence in the second half caused them problems.
He acknowledged Kudus’ impact, revealing that the Ghanaian could easily fit into Liverpool’s squad based on his quality.
“They are 16th or 17th in the league, but I can name one or two players who could have easily played with us today in terms of quality. They used these two quality players more in the second half. I think Paqueta and Kudus were outstanding today, especially in the second half,” he said.
Despite Slot’s confidence in Kudus, the 24-year-old has endured a relatively challenging second season at West Ham.
He has recorded just three goals and two assists in 26 Premier League appearances so far.
