Kudus played in 32 league games last season, scoring four goals during a season that fell short of expectations during a difficult campaign for West Ham. Partey, who has been in fine form for Arsenal, believes Kudus possesses a lot of qualities despite struggling to get many goals last season.

“Well I think I have to say a difficult year for [Mohammed] Kudus [and] it also depends on the goals but when it comes to quality you can never say it is a difficult year for him.

“For me I always know he is one of the best we have in the country and you know he is our star boy,” Partey said.

Kudus, 24, cut his teeth at Ghana-based football academy Right to Dream before moving to Danish outfit Nordsjælland in the 2018/19 season where became an instant hit.

The attacking midfielder had several overtures after his exploits with Nordsjælland but Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam snapped him up reportedly to the tune of €9 million euros. His move to West Ham for €43 million ahead of the 2023-24 season made him the second most expensive Ghanaian player behind Thomas Partey.

Since moving to West Ham, Kudus has 19 goals and 10 assists in 80 games across all competitions.
