Former Ghana international, Augustine Ahinful has praised Mohammed Kudus for his brilliant start at West Ham United following his move from Ajax.
The 23-year-old has become one of the fans' favourites due to his impressive performance at the club despite his start at the club.
Kudus has been directly involved in seven goals in 18 appearances for the Hammers, scoring six and assisting one across all competitions.
However, Ahinful has praised the youngster for finding his feet at the club while praising manager David Moyes for integrating him slowly into the team.
"I'm not surprised at all [at his recent performances] because when he first went to West Ham, we kept complaining about why the coach was not using him. The coach, who works with the team day in and day out, knew what he was doing," Arhinful told Joy Sports.
The former Borussia Dortmund forward also believes Kudus maintaining his current form will be a positive for the Black Stars at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
"I think since the time he was integrated into the team, we have seen his performance keep going up. We should just hope that he doesn't get himself injured.
"He playing well will also affect our national team positively, so we should continue to guide him, advise him, and hope for the best for him," he added.
Kudus will hope to come good at his first AFCON tournament in January next year with Ghana facing Egypt, Cape Verde and Mozambique in Ivory Coast.
