Kudus: 'I need to be stronger'

West Ham attacker Mohammed Kudus has expressed his desire to be a 'stronger' player as he looks to match the physical demands of the Premier League.

Kudus, who joined West Ham in August 2023, swiftly adapted to the pace of the Premier League and instantly became one of his club's top performers in the months thereafter.

However, the Ghanaian still feels that he needs to be physically stronger while facing 'big' defenders on a weekly basis.

“I need to be stronger,” Kudus told SkySports, as per Ghana Soccernet.

“I’m playing against big, strong central defenders. I have to be strong to protect the ball. Obviously, they are bigger than me, but I definitely can do a job there for the team.”

“I just have to learn more movements and learn how I can help the team better.

“But I am a strong player too. It’s definitely a challenge but I am good for it and a challenge I relish."
