West Ham's Mohammed Kudus earns high praise for his first half brace against Wolves, with rival fans asking 'Why didn't we sign him when we had the chance?' after his summer move from Ajax

West Ham's Mohammed Kudus has earned high praise from social media users following his sterling first-half performance against Wolves on Sunday.

Kudus was able to score twice, in the 22nd and 32nd minutes, to give the hosts a comfortable cushion - the earliest brace ever scored in a Premier League game at the London Stadium, according to Opta. 

There were question marks over whether Kudus would work at the Hammers, following the Ghanaian's £38m summer move from Dutch club Ajax, but his performances appear to show that he has been a canny signing for the Hammers.  

One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Mohammed Kudus balling for West Ham. Still think it was a bad decision to go there?'

Another added: 'It’s becoming Mohammed Kudus’ team now. What a strike to give the West Ham the lead against Wolves', while a third noted: 'Kudus is incredible man, always shows up for West Ham.'

It has also made rival fans jealous, with a Man United supporter fuming: 'Kudus is quality why didn’t we sign him when we had the chance'.

Another football fan expressed that they were 'surprised' that West Ham were able to sign the Ghanaian, adding: 'Kudus is a special talent'.
