Hearts of Oak are also the record winners of Ghana’s FA Cup, winning it 13 times.
Asked about which club he supported growing up, Kudus told Sky Sports, “I was supporting a team in Ghana called Hearts [of Oak], a team in the Ghana league. [The atmosphere] was crazy. It is in the city I grew up in, in Accra, the capital.”
Mohammed Kudus has been on fire this season for West Ham, scoring 16 goals across all competitions in 38 games in his first season.
