West Ham United head coach Graham Potter has heaped praises on Ghana international Mohammed Kudus, highlighting his ability to create opportunities for the team.
Speaking ahead of West Ham’s Premier League showdown against Fulham at the London Olympic Stadium, with kick-off set for 19:00 GMT, Potter emphasized Kudus’ versatility and attacking qualities.
The former Chelsea and Brighton manager referenced Kudus’ performance in the recent FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa at Villa Park, acknowledging the need for adaptability in challenging circumstances.
“Sometimes in these situations [with several absences in one position], you have to be creative,” Potter said.
“You have to look at the attacking players you have and what their attributes are and use them accordingly so Mo’s [Kudus] got the capability to do that. It’s an option for us,” he added.
Kudus, now in his second season with the Hammers, has recorded three goals and an assist in 15 league appearances.
The dynamic attacker will look to inspire West Ham to return to winning ways against Fulham as the team seeks to build momentum in the Premier League campaign.
