During his short time back home, the West Ham star went out for food, where he got swamped by workers from KFC in Accra.

In a video that has since gone viral on social media, the shy midfielder felt a bit uncomfortable as the workers tried to cheer him on while taking the video. Kudus is heard saying it's okay in Twi, a local language in Ghana, but the fans made sure they enjoyed the moment.
