Kudus usually celebrates by advertising billboards or sitting on a ball boy’s plastic seat but at the London Stadium he unveiled a wooden stool in the shape of an elephant, a nod to his Ghanaian culture.
Quddus said, ‘Where I come from, the chiefs and the kings, they are sitting on stools.’ ‘I thought it would be good to share a bit of life where I come from.’
Performances like that remind you why, last season, he was West Ham royalty.
He has struggled to replicate that term under Lopetegui and there are rumors the club could offload him, but only for a tear, to free up funds in January.

West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui said he was happy with Kudus’ defensive commitment
In this performance, he showed how important he can still be with the West Ham shirt on his back.
Kudus made three tackles against Brighton and had more possession than any other West Ham player to have the winger up his sleeve which pleased his manager the most.
“I’m not only happy with his goal, I’m also happy with his commitment,” Lopetegui said. ‘He’s improving a lot in his defensive commitment. The only way to achieve the level he can achieve, and we’ve talked to him a lot about this, is to focus on working hard for the team. To be a big and strong winger you have to do that – and he’s trying.’
