West Ham star, Mohammed Kudus has vowed to take his game to another level under manager, Julen Lopetegui.
The 23-year-old shone in midfield throughout his first season in England, appearing 45 times for the Hammers last season in all competitions, scoring 14 goals and providing six assists.
In an interview with the club’s official website, the Ghanaian international stated that he wants to take his game to new heights next season.
“This is the difficult part of the season, but also the most important one because the preparation is important,” Kudus confirmed.

“We had a good camp in Austria, the sun was out and we trained well together as a team. We’ve got some new players, but we have all connected well and have made them feel at home, just like everyone did when I got here last season. Pre-season has been smooth so far, and I’m enjoying it.
“His (Lopetegui’s) style is how I want to play, how I want to attack as a winger and there is a lot of freedom, which allows me to do that. That is the most important thing for me – that I’m allowed to play how I want to. He has different tactics and a different style, but we are all working together to push the Club to the level where we want it to be.
Kudus also spoke more on how he wants to prove his ability and how he has so much more to give for the side.
“To start and announce myself, it was quite a good start for me personally (last season), but I believe I still have so much in me that I can still show to everyone. We will work on it and try to double how I performed last season and be even better going forward.
“Personally, I want to do better than I did last season with numbers and performances, but most importantly help the team get back into Europe and challenge for the top six. That’s what my personal goal is around, helping the team.”
