Pundit left ‘WOWED; by West Ham signing ‘of top-six player’ – ‘credit to Tim Steidten’

West Ham forward Mohammed Kudus is “easily a top-six player”, according to Michael Bridge after the attacker joined the Hammers in the summer.

He enjoyed a breakthrough campaign where he scored 18 and assisted seven in all competitions and had started this season in fine fettle, too. he scored a hat-trick in Ajax’s Europa League play-off win over Ludogorets, which turned out to be his final game for the club.

The attacking midfielder, who can play across the front line, has penned a five-year contract with an option for another season with WEST HAM, but he had been linked to some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and even Newcastle were all very much interested in trying to get a transfer deal done, but it was the project at West Ham that Kudus was excited about, and Bridge has been left wowed by the signing of the attacker.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID – 

“I have to give huge credit to West Ham United because I think they’ve spent the Declan Rice money superbly,” said Bridge. “I think Kudus is a top player and easily a top-six player, so I’ve got to give credit to Tim Steidten.

“Four weeks before the deadline, there were newspaper reports about David Moyes and Steidten not getting on, and Steidten not being happy since joining because of not getting the opportunity to get the players he wants. It looks like the complete opposite now.

“You’ve got to work with your manager. I’m sure David Moyes was the one that wanted James Ward-Prowse, which was a no-brainer. I take my hat off to West Ham. I really, really do, and it comes after there were some murmurings about Moyes’ future during the summer.”

There are not too many West Ham fans that truly believed that a player like Kudus would make the move to London, but this deal just shows that the Hammers can attract big players.

They had a poor season last year, but this campaign should be an exciting one, especially as David Moyes now has a squad that could even compete for a top four side.

It would be a shock to see Kudus flop at WEST HAM.
