Mohammed Kudus has opened up on his goal celebration that he has been performing throughout the just concluded season.
Sitting on a seat or advertising board has become his signature celebration throughout the season.
The 23-year-old has had an impressive season with West Ham, scoring 14 goals across all competitions.
Speaking to The Athletic, Kudus said, “There’s no deep meaning to it. With my style of play, I like to entertain the fans at the stadium.
“So I thought about doing something different that people can talk about. That’s what came into my head. Football is entertainment and I try to make the fans feel the worth of the ticket they bought with what I do on and off the pitch.”
“It didn’t always go entirely to plan. After scoring away to Newcastle a couple of weeks later, he gestured to a ball boy to pass him his stool, but the request was met with a confused expression.
“That story was projected differently. He couldn’t hear what I was saying, because it was so loud (at St James’ Park). It was not that he didn’t want to give it to me. So I sat on the (advertising) boards instead. Because of how the pictures came out, it was translated differently.”
