Mohammed Kudus has had a challenging 2024-2025 season at West Ham United, with the Ghanaian midfielder facing more frustration than most.
Despite his impressive debut season, where he scored eight goals and provided six assists, Kudus has struggled to find his rhythm, managing only three goals and one assist in 22 Premier League matches so far.
One of the standout frustrations for Kudus is his repeated misfortune with the woodwork. No player in the Premier League has hit the post or crossbar more than Kudus, with five shots denied by the frame of the goal.
Chelsea’s Cole Palmer shares this unfortunate record, while players like Antoine Semenyo, Erling Haaland, and Mohamed Salah have all been stopped by the woodwork four times.
Despite these setbacks, Kudus remains a key figure for Ghana, and he’s expected to be called up for the Black Stars’ 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar later this month.
