The Ghanaian international has been serving a five-game ban for violent conduct in the London Derby against Tottenham. This incident saw him score West Ham’s opener but later get sent off after clashes with Micky van de Ven and Pape Matar Sarr.
Interestingly, West Ham’s manager, Julen Lopetegui, made waves before the ban, suggesting that the team might perform better without Kudus—a statement that raised eyebrows, especially among Ghanaians who regard Kudus as one of the Premier League’s top talents.
Now, looking at West Ham’s record during Kudus’ suspension:
Win vs. Manchester United
Draw vs. Everton
Victory at St. James’ Park against Newcastle
In his absence, Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville has stepped up brilliantly, contributing goals and performances that have kept West Ham on track. This has sparked debate—does Kudus fit into Lopetegui’s system, or has his form dipped since joining West Ham and after his lackluster showing in Ghana’s AFCON qualifiers?
Despite this, Kudus remains a player of immense quality. Last season, he was pivotal for West Ham, both domestically and in Europe. One of his goals in the Europa League was even nominated for the Puskás Award.
The big question now is: When Kudus returns from suspension against Leicester, can he reclaim his starting spot, or will he need to work his way back into the team? Share your thoughts in the comments. Do you think West Ham is better off without Kudus? Or should he be an integral part of the team moving forward? Let us know!
