  • The Ghana international excelled as West Ham beat Arsenal
  • Kudus scored a fine goal as the Hammers bested the Gunners

Ghanaian midfielder, Mohammed Kudus has been trending on social media for the past 24 hours following his display against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

The 23-year-old was on target as the Hammers eliminated their London rivals from the cup competition after a 3-1 victory at the Olympic Stadium.

An early own goal from Ben White and a second-half strike from Jarrod Bowen sandwiched Kudus' brilliant goal before a late consolation from Arsenal captain, Martin Odegaard.

However, the highlight of the game was when the former Ajax star got the better of defender, Takehiro Tomiyasu.

In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Kudus perfectly lofted the ball over the Japanese defender as fans watched in awe.

Kudus is enjoying a blistering start to life in England, having scored four goals across all competitions for the London club.

The Black Stars player scored twice on his Europa League debut for West Ham before strikes in the Premier League against West Ham and in the EFL Cup against Arsenal, per Transfermarkt.

Kudus scores as West Ham beat Arsenal

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Ghanaian midfielder, Kudus scoring for West Ham United against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup game at London's Olympic Stadium.

Kudus models in new Puma fan wear

Sports Brief also reported that football stars across Africa, led by Ghana's Kudus modelled in the Culture Fanwear released by Puma ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The apparel line, which ranges from tracksuits to summer hats to T-shirts, was unveiled on November 1 - just two months before the tournament in Ivory Coast kicks off.

The fanwear idea by Puma is envisioned as a substitute for traditional football jerseys, which supporters can wear at the AFCON tournament as well as at any private events.
