Ghana star Mohammed Kudus hails ‘assist provider’ Nayef Aguerd after Arsenal win

Published on: 02 November 2023

Ghana international Mohammed Kudus has lavished praise on West Ham United teammate Naef Aguerd for assisting him to score against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

The Black Stars midfielder started and lasted 89 minutes as his side cruised to a 3-1 win over the Gunners at the London Stadium.

Kudus scored a spectacular goal to double the advantage for the Hammers after connecting from the Moroccan's long range pass in the box.

An early own goal from Ben White and a Jarrod Bowen strike ensured West Ham eliminated Arsenal from the Carabao Cup with a 3-1 win. Martin Odergaard scored late to pull one back for the Gunners.

“The pass was so good that I didn’t have to do much because it almost ended up being in the box, so I had to just take my touch inside and shoot, so thanks to Nayef for that wonderful pass!” he said after the game," said Kudus in a post-match presser.

“As forward players, you want to get the ball in the net and you also want to entertain the fans, so that’s what I’m here to do. Thanks to the fans for their support. It’s been amazing, and even when it’s not going well, they are still pushing and giving us energy.

Mohammed Kudus is enjoying an amazing start to life at West Ham United, scoring three goals after 12 games across competitions.
