The former Ajax midfielder is a popular figure in the dressing room and on the occasion of his 24th birth, the club threw a challenge to his teammates to describe him in one word.

In a video shared on social media, the popular word from his colleagues was 'Starboy', a common name among Ghanaian football fans as well.

However, forward Michail Antonio describe Kudus as quite while two of his teammates claim he was faster. He was also described as ridiculous.

Kudus will be hoping to replicate last season's form in the upcoming campaign under new manager Julen Lopetegui.

West Ham United will face Crystal Palace in the final pre-season game in Tampa before returning to England.

Kudus eyes successful season

The Ghana international has stated his intentions of doing better than he did last season, with the hopes of returning the Hammers to Europe.

He said as quoted by 3 Sports:

“I want to do better than I did last season, both in terms of numbers and performances. But most importantly, my goal is to help the team get back into Europe and challenge for a top-six finish. That’s my personal focus—contributing to the team’s success and pushing us back into European competition.”
