  • Welcome to Ironcast.
  • Welcome to West Ham United.
  • Welcome to the Premier League.
  • Mo Kudus, welcome, first of all.
  • Thank you.
  • Thank you.
  • You left Ghana 10 years old, you go to Denmark, then you make your way to Amsterdam.
  • What a journey to get to the Premier League.
  • And now today you join a club, as we speak, Sunday morning, top of the Premier League.
  • Do you think about the journey you've taken to be here on a day like this?
  • Yeah, you know,
  • I've been dreaming to play in a league like this since I was a kid.
  • So just taking each day by itself and just following my dream.
  • And then we are here today.
  • But it doesn't stop here.
  • We keep writing history and then keep going.
  • Yeah.
  • So excited to see you play in West Hampshire.
  • For anyone who's not seen you play, any West Ham fans who haven't seen you play before, how would you describe the way you play?
  • I like to entertain the fans because I feel that's what football is about.
  • My dribbling ability, strength, finishing also, you know.
  • Yeah.
  • So I'm just here to do my best to help the team, you know.
  • So the fans should just expect some entertainment.
  • Oh, man.
  • That's unbelievable.
  • That's unbelievable to hear as a former player, but a West Ham fan.
  • Hearing that you're here to entertain and excite the fans.
  • It makes me excited.
  • You can see the grin on my face.
  • I'm excited to see you put on that shirt and excite the fans here at the London Stadium.
  • Leaving Ajax and leaving, scoring a hat-trick, knowing that it's going to be your last game, how did that feel?
  • It felt good.
  • For me, the situation I was in as a player, the job I could do was just to do my job on the pitch.
  • And I just did it on the pitch.
  • The reason why I say that is because as a player, you know, if there's talk of you going to another team and you're playing a game, in the back of your mind, you might be thinking, oh, I don't want to get injured.
  • But you went out there and scored a hat-trick.
  • That shows to me personally, as a fan sitting here talking to you, the mindset that you've got is different to a lot of other players.
  • Yeah, I mean, when I'm on the pitch, all the noise outside stays there.
  • So everything on the pitch is fully on the pitch.
  • So my full focus was on that game, even though the other staff were going off the pitch.
  • And that's the job of my family, my agent, to take care of that and fully focus on the pitch.
  • And I live in the present moment.
  • So at that exact moment, I was at Ajax.
  • So I was just doing my best for the badge.
  • And you see the same thing over here.
  • Yeah, there was a lot of West Ham fans watching that game.
  • I was watching that game.
  • I wanted to ask you about the interview you did immediately after the game.
  • The toughest interview I've ever seen a footballer get.
  • You were completely grilled.
  • But you said in that interview, West Ham, good club.
  • And a lot of West Ham fans were like, oh, wow, this could actually happen.
  • Did you get a sense of how excited West Ham fans were?
  • Yeah, yeah, well, definitely before the game,
  • I knew it was almost done in between the talks of the club.
  • So I just felt of just giving what was going to happen, you know, and that was literally it.
  • Yeah, I think your honesty that you showed in that interview is something that our fans here will love in you as a player.
  • Your honesty, your willingness to work hard.
  • I think any new player that comes to this football club, this fantastic football club, should know and understand that you work hard first, you play second, which it sounds like that's you.
  • You're going to work hard, you're going to play second and you're going to entertain the fans.
  • When you do that, the fans here will love you forever.
  • I can tell you from past experience, I didn't excite the fans like you're going to excite the fans.
  • Yeah, you couldn't dribble, I think.
  • No, I couldn't.
  • But I understood to work hard first, you know, and play for the badge.
  • You've said it yourself already, play for the badge.
  • That will set you in good stead to be at West Ham United.
  • Thank you.
  • Thank you for that voice.
  • Yeah, I want to say you mentioned you're dribbling.
  • I mean, we've all West Ham fans been watching videos of you.
  • The dribbling is a huge part of your game.
  • West Ham fans love players that run at opposition players.
  • Is that dribbling something you've always had throughout your career?
  • Yeah, I think it has always been one of my qualities.
  • And I think it started from my childhood club in Ghana,
  • Strong Tower.
  • I think the coach gave me the freedom.
  • I was young at that time, so it wasn't really about the results.
  • And it was just playing for the passion and for fun.
  • So he just gave me the role to just anytime, just get the ball, just try and take as many men as you can.
  • And naturally, I've been built with this low centre of gravity to the ground.
  • So it's easy for me to turn around.
  • And yeah, I've worked on that in the gym as well, since I've seen that it's my strength.
  • So I just keep building on it.
  • And that's the biggest tool that helped me in most of my dribbling as well.
  • Yeah.
  • And every player that comes to West Ham, they get this amazing little video, which you've just witnessed about what it means to play for West Ham.
  • I wondered, how excited are you about living in London?
  • You've just come from Amsterdam, a big city.
  • But is there something you're excited about living in London?
  • Yeah.
  • I've not been to London many times, actually.
  • This is my second time, so I don't know much about the city.
  • But definitely, it's part of the game, you know, on and off the pitch.
  • Stuff affects what's happening on the pitch.
  • So definitely, you know, I'm open minded to see what we have over here.
  • Yeah.
  • And then there's a part of that video where it says you can choose to live in the countryside or in the city.
  • I wondered, just so we get an insight into your character, where do you think you're going to end up?
  • You don't need to give us your postcode.
  • We're not going to, but like, are you more into the countryside or the city?
  • Yeah, yeah.
  • Countryside.
  • Because I like more chilled places with less busy, you know, less chaos.
  • You know, that's when I have my peace with myself.
  • And, you know, I can resonate with most of my thinking and stuff like that.
  • So, yeah.
  • Brilliant.
  • Have you spoken to Alvarez?
  • Obviously, he's your teammate in Ajax.
  • Have you spoken to him about what it's like to be here and how he was welcomed by the fans?
  • Yeah, yeah.
  • Great impression.
  • And yeah, he told me his experiences and he's loving it so far.
  • So he also pushed for me coming here as well.
  • And yeah, I'm glad I'm glad I'm here with him as well.
  • Yeah.
  • I actually noticed Edson put a post on Instagram and you did it.
  • I think it was just fire emojis.
  • And again, West Ham was like, it's a clue.
  • We might get good at it.
  • So much excitement from the fans.
  • You join us just the day after we had a fantastic result against Brighton and we've played really well against Chelsea.
  • I just wonder, did you watch those games?
  • Yeah, I watched the Brighton game.
  • I was here after my medicals.
  • I made it and then I watched some part of it.
  • Top performance.
  • Yeah, you must be so excited to be a part of this too.
  • I wanted to ask about your Ghanaian international since 2019 and the current Ghanaian captain, Andre Ayew, used to play for West Ham.
  • And one of the most capped Ghanaian players of all time is Jon Pansel.
  • I wondered if you caught up with either of those two men about what it means to play for West Ham.
  • Ayew has been speaking highly of West Ham, you know, but Jon Pansel is way older, so I didn't really get the chance to speak with him.
  • But Andre is still in the national team and he speaks a lot about his experiences in most clubs.
  • And West Ham is one of the clubs that he speaks highly of.
  • Yeah, you know, number 14, the one you've selected, used to be worn by Jon Pansel.
  • That's great.
  • It's meant to happen.
  • It was meant to happen.
  • Yeah, he was in my team.
  • He was, Jon Pansel was in my team here.
  • A fantastic character.
  • Someone, again, who wore his heart on his sleeve.
  • You know, and someone who not just wore his heart on his sleeve, but his country.
  • He wore his country, he had his country on his shoulders.
  • I know you're going to have that being a Ghanaian.
  • The Ghanaian fans.
  • Are we going to get more of them as West Ham fans, you being here?
  • You're going to see, yeah.
  • Great.
  • Do you know much about the Ghanaian Hammers?
  • We've got West Ham fan clubs all over the world, but the Ghanaian Hammers are by far, I'd say, definitely my favourite and everyone else's favourite.
  • And Ghanaian Hammers have been messaging me on Instagram saying, you've got to, we've got to sign Kudos.
  • I was like, I can't do anything about it, but I will interview him if he joins.
  • And actually, they've sent over some, they just sent one question.
  • Abdul, the president of the Ghanaian Hammers just wants to know, how delighted are you to sign for West Ham?
  • And when are you going to go visit the Ghanaian Hammers?
  • Definitely, you know, I didn't know about them before, but when I had the intuition that I was going to come here, you know, and I saw them, started mentioning me on my platforms a lot of times.
  • So I click on it and I see what they do, how they support Hammers and they are raising funds for some charity works and stuff like that.
  • So I think it's brilliant, you know, it's more than just supporting the Hammers.
  • So I think it's more than football, which is all about people and stuff like that.
  • So definitely, definitely, I'll definitely visit there and we'll see how we can impact in other people's lives using football and how to, you know.
  • Yeah, we've got to at least get a signed West Ham Kudos shirt.
  • A hundred percent.
  • Yeah, that's done.
  • And then, like, do you think we're going to see many more Ghanaian flags here at London Stadium?
  • There's surely, we've got Algerian and Brazil flags, because Peketa and Benrahma will surely now.
  • Definitely, definitely, I believe so.
  • And I wanted to ask about your highlight.
  • I mean, you've played so many famous games for Ghana.
  • In the most recent World Cup, you scored two in the victory over South Korea, which you won 3-2. Has that been the highlight of your Ghana career so far?
  • Yeah, I think, because I think with the national team, World Cup is one of the, I think, the biggest stage in world football.
  • So to perform in that stage was, yeah, I think it's one of the biggest highlights for me.
  • Yeah.
  • Do you know as well, Chris Hewton, Ghana manager, played for West Ham as well.
  • Has he mentioned it?
  • No, he hasn't mentioned it.
  • Oh, come on.
  • You'll have to ask him, he's great.
  • Yeah, definitely.
  • And then in terms of the games we've got coming up this season, now you're in the Premier League, we've got City really soon, Liverpool, Anfield coming up.
  • Are there any fixtures you're really looking forward to?
  • All the fixtures, you know.
  • For me, yeah, there are bigger teams, stuff like that.
  • But me as a player, I approach every game with the same mentality, you know, whether we are playing top of the league or bottom of it, it's the same approach for me in every game.
  • So I'm looking forward to all the games, actually.
  • Yeah.
  • Have you as a player, have you set many goals or targets this year for yourself personally?
  • Yeah, I have personal goals.
  • I mean, that was when I was at Ajax, but everything changed now.
  • So definitely we have to reschedule the goals and stuff like that.
  • But definitely every year I have personal goals, not just football, but family projects and stuff like that, all around myself, you know.
  • Any insight for the fans?
  • You'll see, you'll see.
  • You'll see the end result.
  • I just wanted to ask as well, we've just seen you doing your media shoot in the new kit and all that, and you have your own song, Governor Bee, big West Ham fan, big rapper.
  • He's written a song for you.
  • I just wanted to know, did you like it?
  • Yeah, I love it.
  • I need to start learning the lyrics soon, you know, I love the song.
  • Yeah, it's amazing.
  • Yeah, it's so good.
  • How good would it be if we had the fans actually singing it as well?
  • Well, the thing is, Governor Bee's a really talented rapper.
  • I'm not sure most people could.
  • I know, but we've heard the fans take by your car.
  • We can do this with Governor Bee soon, no?
  • With Mo. Short fans, you've got to do this.
  • You've got to start singing it on a Saturday, come on.
  • We'll see.
  • We just wanted, before we end, we've got 10 quickfire questions for you, just to learn a bit more about you.
  • Past or present player that you're most similar to?
  • Difficult one, I have no idea.
  • I'm going to say, dribbling one, Messi, dribbling wise.
