Mohammed Kudus’s Messi-like goal against Freiburg in the Europa League has earned him a nomination for Ham United’s Goal of the Month award.
Furthermore, his second goal in the same match has also been nominated, making him the only player with two goals up for the award. Fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite in the upcoming days.
Additionally, likely, this goal may also be considered for the goal of the season after the season.
Mohammed Kudus’ unique ‘take the seat’ celebration has particularly resonated with West Ham supporters, inspiring one young fan to emulate it as a tribute to him.
The boy, dressed in West Ham attire, recreated Kudus’ remarkable solo goal against Freiburg in the Europa League by skillfully dribbling across the room before expertly finishing the move.
Immediately after finding the back of the net, he grabbed a seat and sat on it, mirroring Kudus’ celebratory gesture from his first goal in the Europa League match on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
The child’s mother, Stacey Brotherwood, shared a video of this adorable homage on X, mentioning that their household is infatuated with the Ghanaian footballer.
She even went as far as purchasing a bandage for her child to ensure an accurate replication of the celebration.
