In a video shared on social media, the English club compiled some of his best moments in the West Ham jersey and shared with their millions of followers.
It was also a show of appreciation from the club after his dazzling performances in the league and Europe.
In his debut campaign, Kudus netted 14 goals and delivered six assists across all competitions, per Transfermarkt.
Following a remarkable club, clubs in England and Saudi Arabia showed interest in the player but the Black Stars midfielder decided to stay with the Hammers.
He is also having a fine start to the campaign, starring in the matches against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
Kudus eyes another good season
Having enjoyed a good debut season, the Right to Dream Academy product reiterated his desire to exceed his past season performance.
“Setting the standard is not as difficult as maintaining it,” he told The Athletic via NY Times. “The way my first season went, the expectations are even higher now. It’s going to be even tougher, because now everybody knows me in the league — defenders and players around me. That’s why I have to raise my level and keep up the consistency.
“I’m still far from my top abilities and what I can achieve in the league. The first season was just the beginning.”
Kudus rated above Vinicius Jr
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that former Ghana midfielder Charles Asampong Taylor insists Mohammed Kudus is a far better player than Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr.
Both players had an outstanding campaign last season with the Brazilian leading Los Blancos to La Liga and UEFA Champions League triumph while Kudus ended the season trophyless.
Despite Vini Jr's achievement, Charles Taylor, who played for Ghanaian giants Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, picked the Hammers star over the Brazilian.
