A staunch West Ham fan who travelled from London to Kumasi to watch Mohammed Kudus in Ghana’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers on Thursday.
The Black Stars hosted Central African Republic (CAR) in the final Group E game at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Kudus Mohammed and Ernest Nuamah scored as Ghana fought back to record a 2-1 win over CAR to qualify for the tournament that will be hosted in Ivory Coast next year.
Speaking to GhanaWeb, Ian, the West Ham fan revealed that he was able to make the trip in time from London to Ghana just to watch the new West Ham player, Mohammed Kudus in action.
“I am here to watch Mohammed Kudus, our new signing,” Ian said when asked which player he was coming to watch in the match.
“He is very skilful and strong. We love him,” the West Ham fan told GhanaWeb’s Joseph Adamafio at the Baba Yara Stadium.
He added, “West Ham are massive everywhere we go and I have come all the way from the UK to watch Mohammed Kudus and the Black Stars.”
Kudus joined West Ham in the Premier League in a five-year deal from Ajax this summer following his impressive outing for club and country.
Kudus only made his debut for West Ham shortly before the international break, appearing in injury time during their 2-1 victory over Luton Town. Despite this brief appearance, he had already garnered a passionate following in London.
Kudus is anticipated to return to West Ham the following week, where he will receive a warm welcome from fans eager to witness his exceptional skills. His presence is eagerly anticipated in an upcoming match against Manchester City at the London Stadium when the Premier League resumes.
