Mohammed Kudus, a Ghanaian midfielder for West Ham, has stated that he would like to play as a center attacking midfielder. This information, which was revealed in an interview with Sky Sports, begs the issue of how manager David Moyes plans to use the gifted attacker.
The 23-year-old joined West Ham from Ajax at the start of the season, and he has primarily featured as a winger. Nonetheless, Kudus maintains that, as he has done throughout his career, his natural function is that of a CAM.
He even admitted to occasionally substituting as a striker. In 39 appearances in all competitions, Kudus has managed a commendable 12 goals and 4 assists while playing out of position.
His goal total from the previous campaign at Ajax, where he was a central attacking midfielder
Many think Kudus might be quite successful if used in his favored central offensive role. The player and the team may be able to perform at a higher level as a result. Kudus has just once been started in a central role under manager David Moyes.
The supporters of West Ham are excited to watch Kudus play in his natural position. His numbers indicate that, given the chance, he is capable of even more offensive production. The crucial question still stands: would Moyes modify his strategy to suit Kudus’ inclination and possibly help the player reach his maximum potential?
Unfortunately, I doubt it.
