West Ham Management Reaches Out to Kudus’ Camp Following Controversy – Report
West Ham United Management Contacts Mohammed Kudus' Camp to Deny Issues with Julen Lopetegui, per The Athletic.
On 2 October, reports emerged of a bust-up between Mohammed Kudus and a Spanish teammate after Kudus was substituted at half-time during the 1-1 draw against Brentford on 28 September.
However, the situation is said to have been resolved, with insiders suggesting it was blown out of proportion, and things are back to normal at Rush Green.
West Ham United has faced a difficult season despite a promising summer transfer window.
Key reinforcements, including the £34 million signing of Jean Clair-Todibo, raised fan expectations [Florian Plettenberg, 9 August].
While most of Lopetegui’s new signings have been integrated, Niclas Fullkrug remains sidelined due to injury [GiveMeSport, 27 September].
Kudus, along with teammates Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta, has been a consistent performer for the Hammers under manager David Moyes.
Although disagreements between players and managers over tactical decisions are common, it’s positive that this particular incident has settled down despite becoming public knowledge.
For West Ham to return to European competition this season, the club will need its key players at their best, or the situation could worsen.
