Ghana coach Hughton: West Ham and Moyes good for Kudus

Ghana coach Chris Hughton is happy seeing Mohammed Kudus now with West Ham.

Hughton feels working with Hammers manager David Moyes will be good for the attacker.

He told whufc.com: “I think that Kudus will be good for David and David will definitely be good for him, and I hope in the end it's very good for West Ham. What Mohammed is, is a talented player.

"I think what he has got in his game, and I think probably different managers will see it different ways, is that he is a player who can play in a few different positions. Predominately for us (Ghana), he is played either in that number ten role or on that right-hand side. Looking at his performances for West Ham, I think that's the two positions he's played at.

“His development will be depend on any other positions he could play in. Could he play as a number nine? I see him more as a ten or an inverted player on that right-hand side. He has really good ability and is strong. When you look at him he has strong legs, fairly muscular, so he is able to use his body, certainly in tight areas, to manoeuvre past players or get out of tight situations, and of course the asset he has got is he is a player who can score goals."
