Ghana and West Ham United midfielder Mohammed Kudus is proving to be one of the most influential players in the world following his wonderful brace against SC Freiburg.
His latest goal celebration has proven this as the Under 21 sides of Ajax Amsterdam and West Ham United pulled off their version of Kudus’ “Landlord celebration”.
In the second leg of a Europa League round of 16 stage game at the London Stadium, the 23 year old scored twice in a 5-0 win for West Ham with his first being considered for a Puskas Award.
After picking up the ball in his half, Kudus beat three Freiburg players before slamming the ball with his right foot into the bottom left corner of the goal for West Ham’s fourth on the night.
Kudus’ celebration was a bit varied after the goal as he grabbed a steward’s chair and sat on it close to the left corner rather than sit atop an advertizing board as he has done after scoring goals since joining West Ham.
Teammates Vladimir Coufal and Kurt Zouma looked to be shining Kudus boot as other West Ham player mobbed the Black Stars player.
The win put West Ham into the quarterfinals via a 5-1 aggregate win and the Hammers have since been drawn against another German side Bayer Leverkusen.
