Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus insists he is battle-ready for the upcoming season in the English Premier League after magnificently announcing himself with superlative performances in his maiden campaign.
The Black Stars attacking midfielder was outstanding for the Hammers last season, ending the season as Europe’s best dribbler. He also scored 14 goals, including sensational strikes against Freiburg and Manchester City, and added six assists to his goal contributions.
His efforts have seen him attract interest from various clubs, with Saudi giants Al Ittihad and Liverpool heavily linked to the player.
However, Kudus is focused on his time with West Ham as preparations for the new season continue in the United States.
According to the 23-year-old, he is aware of the expectations and is ready to give his best in the upcoming campaign.
“Definitely, the preparations have been smooth so far. We have a couple of games to get to the level we want to get to. Looking forward to tomorrow’s game, but same thing like last season. Last season was good, first season to announce myself,” he told West Ham TV.
“I think now the expectation is even higher. The opponents are going to come stronger, but so am I.
“So, just double my effort and do my best to help the team finish in the best position possible.”
