AdminWest Ham’s Mohammed Kudus is enduring the toughest spell of his career, with his struggles now worsened by fresh heartbreak on international duty with Ghana.
The Hammers desperately need Kudus at his peak to rescue their season, which is falling out of control under Julen Lopetegui.
With the team sitting 14th in the Premier League, eliminated from the League Cup, and having won just nine of their 39 games in 2024, the pressure is mounting on both the players and the manager.
Kudus, one of West Ham’s most talented players, has been a shadow of his usual self.
After a promising debut season where he scored 14 goals and provided six assists, his form has dropped amid injuries, suspensions, and public criticism.
The Ghanaian star was sent off against Tottenham, earning a three-game ban that was extended to five matches. This means he won’t return for West Ham until December 3 against Leicester.
Things worsened on international duty as Ghana lost 2-1 to Niger after a 1-1 draw with Angola. Kudus, captaining his side, missed a last-minute penalty as fans chanted “away” to urge him to miss.The backlash has left the player clearly shaken, a video showing his sorrow spreading widely.
Kudus’ form will be crucial if West Ham and Lopetegui are to avoid further crisis. But with his confidence shattered, the question remains whether he can recover in time to save both himself and his team.
