Ghanaian midfielder, Mohammed Kudus, showcased his prowess on the flanks as he earned the Man of the Match title during West Ham United’s victory over Lincoln City in the EFL Cup. The 23-year-old played a pivotal role as the Hammers secured their passage to the next stage of the competition with a hard-fought 1-0 win in Lincoln.
The decisive goal came in the second half, courtesy of Tomas Soucek, ensuring that West Ham United, a Premier League side, continued their journey in the EFL Cup. Kudus faced tough competition for the Man of the Match award, with strong performances from goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, Konstantinos Mavropanos, and Soucek himself. However, his outstanding contribution on the field earned him his second Man of the Match accolade since joining West Ham.
Kudus, a former Ajax midfielder, has been making a significant impact since his arrival in London, already scoring two goals in just five appearances for the club. As he continues to adapt to his new environment, the Right to Dream Academy graduate is set to make his first Premier League start for West Ham United when they host Sheffield United on Saturday.
This promising start to his career in the English top flight hints at a bright future for Mohammed Kudus as he seeks to become a key figure for West Ham United in the upcoming season.
