Mohammed Kudus says he is loving his current form in a West Ham shirt after a netting a brace in Sunday’s 3-0 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Ghana international netted his brace in the 22nd and 32nd minute to give the Hammers a comfortable first half lead before Jarrod Bowen rounded things up in the 74th minute.
It took Kudus’ tally to five goals in the Premier League and the summer recruit from Ajax revealed he heeded to technical advice that was handed to him before the game.
“I am loving my football, but most importantly the performances are impacting on the results,” Kudus said on the club website. “We got the three points and that’s the most important thing for me.
“[For the first goal] normally when you come in with your left foot, the keeper is looking at the other corner, so I went for the near corner. It went in, it was a good goal and I’m happy.
“Before the game I had the information from the technical team that when I come inside, I should shoot for the near corner because he’s more expecting the balls on the other corner.
“It was in the back of my head, so when [the chance came] it was a natural flow.
“[For the second] you know the vision Lucas has with those kind of passes. As soon as we win the ball and it’s him, I just get running!
“I know the ball will come. I was just one-v-one against the keeper and I did my thing.”

West Ham will turn their attention next to EFL Cup quarter-finals where they face Liverpool on Wednesday and Kudus wants to keep the momentum going.
“We want to keep going and keep going,” he added. “The win on Thursday boosted the energy and the motivation and we’ll keep building on that.
“We expect a lot from ourselves and we believe we can do more than this. There are so many games to go, so we’ll keep taking one game at a time and we’ll get there.
“Wednesday is a very important opportunity to go to the next round – the semi-final. You saw the performance against Arsenal. It will be another tough game, but the boys will be up for it and the win today is another boost for us. We’ll give our best any day.”
Kudus has played 21 times in all competitions, netting a total of nine goals, including one in the EFL Cup.
