West Ham United’s Mohammed Kudus has spoken out about his new goal celebration, which has piqued the interest of fans.
Contrary to popular belief, he believes that his goal celebration has no real meaning.
Since moving from Ajax Amsterdam to East London last summer, the 23-year-old has had a fantastic start to life in the Premier League.
Kudus has been scoring for fun as well, and he scored twice in the Hammers’ 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.
Anytime he scores, though, he’d run to the advertising board facing the West Ham faithful, sit on it and fold his arms.
It is an iconic goal celebration that is fast catching on and has already been noticed by some of the player’s fans on social media.
Reacting to his new goal celebration, Kudus said it has no real meaning, adding that he’s only trying to catch his breath.
“When you get to this stage and you do things, people try to read deeper meanings to it,” Kudus told Guvna B.
“This doesn’t mean anything. I’m just taking a deep breath, it means nothing to me. I just sit down to take a deep breath.”
