Mohammed Kudus crazy as Crysencio Summerville makes West Ham confession
Crysencio Summerville has waxed lyrical about Mohammed Kudus despite the two fighting for a spot at West Ham United.
Summerville had to mostly settle for a place on the bench until Kudus got suspended, but there are no hard feelings between them, according to the former, who considers the Ghana international as his “boy”.
In a conversation with Voetbal International [2 December], as quoted by Voetbal Primeur, the Dutchman also revealed how Kudus often leaves his jaw on the floor with what he does in training.
“Kudus is my boy. A good player, but also a nice person,” Summerville said.
“I don’t have to explain anything about his footballing qualities, everyone can see that for themselves. Really, wow.
“Sometimes I see things in training that make me think, ‘This is just crazy, this is crazy’. He is a top talent.”
Mohammed Kudus crazy as Crysencio Summerville makes West Ham confession
There are no doubts about the quality that Kudus and Summerville possess, but West Ham fans are yet to see their best this season, with the Irons sitting just six points above the relegation zone.
Kudus, who contributed towards 20 goals across all competitions last season, has found the back of the net just twice for the East London outfit this term and also got a five-match ban for violent conduct in their 4-1 loss to Tottenham on 19 October.
Summerville, meanwhile, has been restricted to just five Premier League starts since joining from Leeds United for £25million in the summer [BBC]. He has one goal to his name.
The lack of goal contributions from Kudus and Summerville has put Julen Lopetegui under immense pressure at the London Stadium.
Lopetegui will no doubt be delighted to have Kudus, who has now served his five-match ban, back when the Hammers face Leicester away from home on Tuesday [3 December], but it remains to be seen if the Ghanaian will be drafted back into the starting XI at Summerville’s expense.
