West Ham fans won’t be too upset with Mohammed Kudus leaving the club this summer.
The forward had an average season last campaign by his standards, as the Hammers had a mediocre season at best in finishing 14th.
Under Julen Lopetegui and Graham Potter last season, he failed to hit similar heights to those that he managed in his debut Premier League campaign.
After his drop in form and the latest revelations coming out of West Ham, there will be no love lost for the Ghanaian international.

Kudus was late for training twice in the build-up to his exit
A £55million agreement was reached on Wednesday for Kudus to move to Tottenham, with the 24-year-old getting closer to leaving.

The winger has been regularly linked with the move away this summer, and now appears to have done his part in pushing for his exit.
According to The Guardian (9 July), Kudus was twice late for training at the club’s East London HQ this week and had requested a transfer.
The former Ajax man had an £85m release clause valid for Premier League sides for the first 10 days of July, but West Ham realistically knew they were not getting close to that sum.
Graham Potter’s squad needs a revamp after last season’s disappointments, and Kudus’ exit will likely fund incoming without the threat of breaking Profit and Sustainability rules.
The winger leaves on a sour note and ruins the reputation he made for himself during his first season at the London Stadium.

Kudus didn’t live up to expectations last season
Kudus, fortunately, won’t need replacing as Jarrod Bowen already occupied his preferred right-wing spot.
One player West Ham have looked at is Brazilian right-back Wesley, as they aim to move on from Kudus.

Kudus won’t be missed at West Ham
Despite his heroics in his first season at West Ham, Kudus won’t be missed.
The winger seemed to put down his tools last season when things didn’t go his way and has been disrespectful in pushing for a move.
If the funds raised manage to bring in young, driven players, then Irons fans will soon forget about their former player.
