James Ward-Prowse thinks West Ham fans won't realise how strong 23-year-old player is

James Ward-Prowse has now admitted that he doesn’t think West Ham United fans will realise the strength that Mohammed Kudus possesses.

Ward-Prowse was speaking on the ‘Iron Cast’ and mentioned that Kudus is now really starting to find his feet at West Ham.

The midfielder complimented Kudus’ ability to hold off a defender and thought he was almost unplayable at times.

Ward-Prowse sounded as if he was very happy with the introduction of West Ham’s £38m signing to the side.

He said: “What’s amazing me about him is his strength as well, I think people don’t see it.

“The amount of times he’ll take the ball with someone behind him, he’ll shrug them off and run away, you can’t get near him at times.

“He’s warmed up nicely and I think now you’re seeing the real Kudus I think, he’s putting in some really good performances.”

Of course, West Ham will now be targeting a bit of consistency in their coming games.

Ward-Prowse was shocked at how strong Kudus has proved at West Ham

Despite Kudus’ wonderful strike, West Ham failed to build on their win against Arsenal when facing Brentford.

And given West Ham now have two home games followed by a trip to Burnley, they’ll be hoping to build some momentum.

Alongside Kudus, Ward-Prowse has also enjoyed an excellent start to life at West Ham.

And he’ll undoubtedly be key to David Moyes’ side turning around their recent inconsistencies.

One of the difficulties for West Ham right now is their selection up top.

It’s a familiar story for Moyes not having a striker scoring goals, with neither Danny Ings or Michail Antonio producing the goods.

Perhaps Moyes will now turn to Jarrod Bowen in a central role again, especially given the form of Kudus out wide.
