Ghana and West Ham midfielder, Kudus Mohammed has explained how he came about with his iconic goal celebration where he sits on the advertising pitch panel.

The Ghanaian midfielder who joined the Hammers in the summer has hit the ground running at the London club and is now a fan's favourite after arriving from Dutch giants Ajax.

Kudus told The Times: 'I wanted to do something out of the box because most celebrations are pretty normal, sliding and stuff. I wanted to add more meaning to me scoring. It's all about sitting down, resting after scoring a goal, but literally there's no deeper meaning than that.'

'Even when I [first] did it there were talks that people were doing it before, though I didn't see anybody doing it that way. But, yeah, [other players] are allowed to do it — but soon they will have to start paying taxes!

'I just see it as something to make people happy and worth the ticket they bought. Football is about the three points and the emotions at stake but also football is an entertainment and there's more stuff to it. Yeah. I'm still just having fun in the playground.'

The midfielder has 12 goals and 3 assists in 34 matches across all competitions in his debut season in England.
