Pep Guardiola lauds Mohammed Kudus ahead of crucial Premier League clash
19th May 2024
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has praised West Ham star Mohammed Kudus, describing him as an exceptional player ahead of Sunday’s crucial Premier League match.
The defending champions are set to host West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium, needing a win to secure their fourth consecutive Premier League title.
A draw or defeat could give Arsenal a chance to clinch the title, adding extra pressure to City's upcoming fixture.
Guardiola emphasized the threat posed by West Ham, particularly their attacking prowess, which includes Ghanaian international Kudus, who has scored 13 goals in all competitions during his debut season with the Hammers.
"Now I’m not thinking one second about next season… because it’s West Ham. Four players up front who can create something," Guardiola stated as reported by EuroFoot.
"Kudus is an exceptional player. Bowen for many years and Antonio, when he’s fit, is unbelievable. Paqueta is a top-class player in that he can do many things.
That’s why. All four from nothing they can do something unique and special. That is my only concern right now."
As Arsenal fans look to Kudus and his teammates to potentially aid their title hopes, the Gunners sit two points behind City heading into the final game.
Arsenal will be hosting Everton simultaneously as the City-West Ham match.
