Mohammed Kudus: West Ham United Star Reacts to Other Players Copying His Celebration

• Ghana's Mohammed Kudus opens up on his famous goal celebration
• Several players including Alejandro Garnacho have copied the celebration
• The West Ham star is expected to return to action against Newcastle United

Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus has no qualms with other players copying his famous 'have a seat' celebration.

The West Ham United star has become very popular for his iconic celebration with players from different leagues mimicking his style whenever they score goals.

Kudus explains the celebration has no deeper meaning as he tries to catch a breath any time he hits the back of the net.

The former Ajax midfielder runs to the advertising board and then takes a seat in front of the fans and more recently had to borrow a chair from a steward to perform the celebration. Another celebration that has gone viral.

“I just thought about something out of the box and then some other people followed it up,” Kudus told The Guardian.

“Now there’s a conversation about whose is better. I’ll have to come up with another juice and put more spices in the tin. It’s all about resting after scoring a goal.

“There’s no deeper meaning. I just see it as entertainment, something to make people happy and worth the ticket that they bought. I’m still just having fun in the playground.”

In January, Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho performed the celebration after scoring against Kudus' West Ham.

“They’re allowed to do it,” said Kudus. “But soon they will have to start paying taxes.”

The 23-year-old missed Ghana's international friendlies against Nigeria and Uganda due to a shoulder injury, as reported by Ghana Web.

Kudus explains Messi-esque goal vs Freiburg

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus opened up on his Messi-esque goal in the Europa League for West Ham United against Freiburg.

The 23-year-old weaved his way past four players from his own half before finishing with his weaker foot as the Hammers thrashed the Bundesliga side to progress to the quarter-finals of the European competition.

Kudus has been in fine form since moving to West Ham last summer, scoring 11 goals across all competitions as the Hammers continue their pursuit of European glory.
