West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus has named Southampton winger Kamaldeen Sulemana as his best friend in the football world.
The duo started their football career together at the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana before joining Danish club FC Nordjaelland.
Kudus later joined Ajax before securing a move to West Ham United in the summer whiles Kamaldeen Sulemana transferred to French club Stade Rennes before joining Southampton in England.
In an interview with West Ham TV, Kudus opened up about how he has settled in East London since joining the club. He credited Sulemana and his teammate Joseph Anang for being of immense help.
"A lot of the players help, but mostly Joe [Joseph Anang]. He’s Ghanaian so there’s a natural connection already, so he helped a lot." Kudus added, "My friend Kamaldeen Sulemana also plays in Southampton. He’s my best friend so he also helps a lot with stuff around me, so it’s just calm vibes."
Kudus is enjoying an amazing season with the Hammers, scoring nine goals and providing an assist across competitions for the club.
