A day earlier, the West Ham United midfielder had hit his 'iconic' celebration after netting a brace in the victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in their Premier League encounter.

Kudus took to social media to post the photo of the Leicester duo, giving them an apparent thumbs up for mimicking his trending celebration.

Meanwhile, Issahaku enjoyed a good game, serving two assists as Leicester maintained their place at the top of the Championship table.

Explaining the meaning behind his celebration, per West Ham TV, Kudus remarked:

"Obviously, when you get to a certain level and you do something, people read deeper meanings into it. This does not mean anything. I am just taking a deep breath."

The 23-year-old has been the star for West Ham since joining the club in the summer transfer window. He has already netted nine goals across all competitions for the Hammers.

The 23-year-old has been in devastating form for West Ham since joining the English club in the summer transfer window from Ajax Amsterdam.

Kudus has netted nine goals across all competitions for the London outfit, and his celebration after each strike is becoming popular in England.

Sports Brief also reported that Ghanaian midfielder, Kudus continued his high-flying start to life in England after scoring a first-half brace to lead West Ham United to victory.

Against Wolverhampton Wanderers, the 23-year-old scored in quick succession to increase his tally for the Hammers to nine as they bounced back from a defeat versus Fulham.

Kudus was also on target in midweek as his new side finished top of Group A in the Europa League and would hope to carry that form into AFCON for Ghana from next January.
