Former Sunderland striker, Asamoah Gyan, said Mohammed Kudus will become a world class player if he continues to maintain the changes in his game after his West Ham move.

The Ghana all-time top scorer made this statement after the Black Stars attacking midfielder scored his first Premier League goal to rescue a point for the Hammers in a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United on Sunday.

Gyan took to social media to praise Kudus for the limitation in his ball-hogging since joining the London club.

There have often been complaints about the Right to Dream graduate holding on to the ball too much, but his compatriot believes Kudus has improved.

“I have seen some big changes in Kudus’ play. He is beginning to understand how to move into spaces to receive the ball and releasing the ball at the right time,” Gyan wrote on X (Twitter).

“If he continues like this consistently, he will be a world class player.”

Since joining West Ham United in August from Ajax, Mohammed Kudus has featured in five Premier League games, not starting any of them.

He has played in three other games in cup competitions, scoring two goals in two Europa League games.
