Former West Ham United defender John Paintsil has shared his insights on Mohammed Kudus’ high-profile transfer to the Premier League, urging the 23-year-old attacking midfielder to prioritise team success over individual accolades.
Kudus realised his dream of joining the Premier League ranks, as he put pen to paper on a five-year contract, finalising his move from Ajax to West Ham.
The talented 23-year-old’s reputation has been on the rise, thanks to his remarkable performance last season, where he netted an impressive 18 goals for Ajax. His stellar form has persisted into the current season, including a recent standout performance where he secured a hat-trick in the Europa League against Ludogorets. West Ham’s pursuit of Kudus was backed by a significant investment, reportedly surpassing the 40 million euros mark.
Interestingly, Kudus has opted for the number 14 shirt, a jersey that holds sentimental value as it was previously worn by none other than Paintsil during his stint with West Ham United.
Reflecting on Kudus’ move, Paintsil shared his perspective during an interview on Kumasi-based Akoma FM, stating, “Kudus Mohammed shouldn’t focus solely on winning individual awards even though they are important, but I will rather encourage him to do well at West Ham.” He continued, “He shouldn’t be about playing at West Ham to win or even think about the African Best Player award but play well and at the right time, it will come.”
Kudus could debut for West Ham in their Premier League clash against Luton Town on Friday.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
