Mohammed Kudus admits he’s already really close with unseen 23-year-old West Ham player

New West Ham United signing Mohammed Kudus has said that he’s already really close wꦉith new teammate Joseph Anang.

Kudus on the Iron Cast Podcast alongside Ben Jo🌞hnson and fe💟llow new signing Konstantinos Mavropanos.

West Ham had a very eventful summer in the𒐪 transfer market after losiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚng captain Declan Rice.

Th🐻ey appear to have spent the money raised by selling the 24-year-old brilliantly.

James Ward-Prowse has hit the ground running while Edson Alvarez looks like a fantastic purchase.

However, the real excitement this season could come from Mohammed Kudus once he’s settled in.

He thrived at Ajax last season and can play in a variety of roles across midfield and atta🃏ck that will cause defe✅nces plenty of problems.

The 23-year-old hasn’t played for the Hammers’🍌 first team yet but is constantly around the seni🗹or squad.

Thursday’s Europa League match could offer him that opportunity, although Lukasz Fabianski might have something to say about that.

West Ham star Kudus says he already close with Anang

Asked if he’s already friends with anyone in the squad, : “Obviously, Joseph [Anang] because he shared the Ghanaian bond already, so natur⭕ally I’m more closer to him.

“Bu♚t I mean everyone in the locker room has been helpin🃏g me settle in so fast.”

Anang has one England Under-20s cap but is also eligꦺible to play f💙or Ghana.

Kudus is a regular in the senior international squad and might be putting a goo♚d word in for the 23-year-old if he likes what he sees in training.

Anang has already had three spells away from the club on loan at Stevenag✱e Borough, S🔯t. Pat’s Athletic in Ireland and Derby County.

How🥀ever, with Alphonse Areola and Fabianski 🐠ahead of him in the pecking order, it’s hard to see him getting a game.

David Moyes has also called up fellow youngster Jacob Knightbridge to senior training to provid🍷e further competition between the goalkeepers.

If Anang can help Kudus settle in at West Ham quickly then he’s still 🐷playing a key role at the club even if he’s not playing.

However, he ma🍨y have to consider l⛄eaving the club on loan soon to continue his development.
