Michail Antonio has praised West Ham teammate Mohammed Kudus’ due to his impressive performances at club level labelling the Ghanaian forward a “star”
Antonio is currently in Ghana to support the “Samba Stars Academy,” a football initiative dedicated to empowering underprivileged youth.
He traveled to show his support for his close friend and partner, Michael Appiason, and was warmly welcomed by the Ghanaian Hammers, the official West Ham supporters club in Ghana.
“Starboy, he is quality to be fair, unbelievable player how he dribbles the ball, scores goals he has great ambition for himself and hopefully we can get some players like that from the academy.” He said
He is a quality player and he is someone we definitely need in our side. Things aren’t gone well this year but I know he’s going to come back fully ready to go” he added
Mohammed Kudus has been handed a five-game suspension following a violent conduct charge during a match against Tottenham Hotspur in the English premier league.
The incident involved Kudus kicking and pushing Spurs player Micky van de Ven, which led to a red card after a VAR review. The scuffle escalated as Kudus also pushed Pape Matar Sarr, resulting in a three-game suspension, which was then extended by an additional two games by the English FA due to the nature of his conduct.
This extended suspension means Kudus will miss some upcoming West Ham fixtures, including games against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, and he is expected to return after the international break.
