The stadium announcer described him as a ‘wizard’ before kickoff and Mohammed Kudus certainly has magic in his boots at the moment. Two goals in the space of 10 first-half minutes from the Ghana forward inspired West Ham to a fourth successive home victory over Wolves that lifts David Moyes’s side above Manchester United and hanging onto the coat-tails of the Premier League’s top six.
Kudus, who joined from Ajax in the summer for £38m, now has nine goals for West Ham including four in his last three appearances here at a stadium that is quickly becoming his spiritual home. The only issue for Moyes will be how to replace him during next month’s African Cup of Nations.
