Special special player. Need to negotiate that 2025 £85m release clause out. He'll be worth way more than that next summer.

Kudus' goal snubbed by EPL
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Kudus registered another goal-of-the-season-worthy strike during West Ham's final EPL game against Manchester City.
