Mohammed Kudus can have the same impact at West Ham as Jeremy Doku is having at Man City - Nigel Reo-Coker

Published on: 08 November 2023

Former West Ham midfielder, Nigel Reo-Coker, has voiced his belief that Mohammed Kudus has the potential to make a similar impact for the Hammers as Jeremy Doku is having at Manchester City.

Reo-Coker opines that by deploying Kudus on the flanks, manager David Moyes can maximize the contributions of the talented Ghanaian.

The 23-year-old has made a scintillating start to his tenure in England, notably scoring a crucial goal as West Ham ousted Arsenal from the Carabao Cup. Additionally, he delivered a stunning strike in the team's recent loss to Brentford.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Reo-Coker questioned Kudus' positioning in the defeat against Everton, emphasizing the importance of utilizing him on the wing.

“When you say attacking selection this weekend [against Everton], for me why is he playing Kudus in the middle instead of out wide?

“I think Kudus can have the same impact as Doku does for Manchester City. Paqueta should be your middle man, he’s the guy that can orchestrate everything.

“I think playing Kudus in the middle is something for me you can kind of question. He needs to be out wide, high, one-on-one against defenders and then producing his magic up there.”
