West Ham United manager Graham Potter lavished praise on Mohammed Kudus after his outstanding performance in the Hammers’ gritty 1-0 win against Arsenal on Saturday afternoon.

The Ghanaian midfielder was instrumental at the Emirates Stadium, aiding his team in clinching a crucial three points. In his post-match press conference, Potter expressed deep admiration for Kudus’ impact and dedication.

“He [Mohammed Kudus] was really good. I think every day, he is a bit of an example. Every day in training, he’s been really, really good. His effort and application have been top,” Potter said.

“Sometimes when the team isn’t functioning as well as you would like, the individuals within it don’t look as good as they can be.

“He’s actually been brilliant, and I think he got his reward today because his performance was fantastic,” he added.

Kudus was a constant menace for Arsenal, ending the game as the most fouled player. He also played a key role in the dismissal of Gunners defender Miles Lewis-Skelly, who was sent off after bringing him down to prevent a clear goal-scoring opportunity.

With West Ham hovering just above the relegation zone, they will aim to build on this momentum when they take on struggling Leicester City on Thursday.
