Former England and Chelsea midfielder, Joe Cole is full of praise for Ghanaian midfielder, Mohammed Kudus, following his blistering start to life in England.

The Ghana international scored an amazing bicycle kick goal for West Ham United in their game against Brentford on Saturday in the Premier League, his second in the English topflight.

Kudus has now netted five times in 13 matches for the Hammers, making him the second top scorer for the club this season despite starting only five matches.

According to Cole, West Ham manager, David Moyes needs to figure out a way of getting the best from the hugely talented player.

“Kudus is a terrific player,” he told Sunday People, as quoted by West Ham Zone.
“The challenge for David Moyes and his team is finding a way to get the best out of both Kudus and Jarrod Bowen. One of them will end up playing centrally, that’s how I see it.
“Michail Antonio is a fantastic player but on the wrong side of 30, and you have to manage his minutes when you’re also in European competition.”

The 23-year-old has now scored in back-to-back games for West Ham, including in the win against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.

Kudus joined West Ham in the summer transfer window from Dutch giants, Ajax Amsterdam, as reported by whufc.com.
