“The number of times he won the ball back and dribbled and the kept on running with the ball. He’s so direct, has an eye for goal, and even had the composure to finish it with his right foot despite being a left-footed player. I’m really happy for him.”

“He [Kudus] is a special player and I see it when he dribbles all the time. I enjoy playing with Mo and he enjoys playing with me and we have a connection. Here’s to more goals.”

Bowen's remarks reflected the admiration for Kudus' skills and emphasized their budding partnership on the pitch. With Kudus' stellar performances, the duo aims to contribute further to West Ham's success in upcoming matches.

Having scored five goals in seven appearances in the Europa League this season, Kudus continues to establish himself as a key player for West Ham United.
