West Ham United manager, David Moyes says he is tempted to start Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus in the Premier League after his side's defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday.
The Ghana international once again made a substitute appearance as the Hammers suffered a 4-1 defeat at Villa Park.
Kudus has impressed since joining the club in the summer transfer window, scoring three goals in nine matches, including the equalizer in the 2-2 draw against Newcastle United.
However, he has yet to start a Premier League game for the club.
“I’m tempted to start Kudus every game,” Moyes said in the post-match presser, as quoted by standard.co.uk.

“Sometimes our balance has been very good and got us some good results. Now and again sometimes it can cause you problems as well.”
In a one-sided game at Villa Park, Douglas Luis netted a brace to add to goals from Ollie Watkins and Leon Baily as Unai Emery's men continue their impressive home run.
Kudus is expected to start in the Europa League game against Olympiakos on Thursday, as reported by whufc.com.
Earlier, Sports Brief reported that David Moyes has disclosed that Mohammed Kudus is close to making a start in the English Premier League.
The 23-year-old has made eight appearances for the Hammers since joining the club from Dutch Eredivisie giants Ajax Amsterdam.
