West Ham United have shocked the Premier League by officially appointing Nuno Espírito Santo as their new head coach — and the news has even dragged former Hammer Mohammed Kudus back into the spotlight.
Kudus, who sensationally swapped East London for Tottenham Hotspur in a blockbuster £55 million summer move, wasted no time making his feelings clear when asked about West Ham’s latest shake-up. The Ghanaian star delivered a brutal five-word message:
👉 “My focus is only forward.”
Kudus Sends a Clear Message
For many West Ham fans still hurting from his departure, Kudus’s words hit hard. The winger was one of the most exciting players in claret and blue, dazzling crowds with his flair and explosiveness before jumping ship to Spurs. Now, his icy response makes it clear he has completely closed the door on his West Ham chapter.
While some fans hoped Kudus might show a hint of emotion about his former side’s dramatic coaching change, his statement proves he has eyes only on Tottenham’s ambitions — and perhaps a little on proving West Ham wrong.
West Ham’s Gamble on Nuno
Meanwhile, the Hammers have rolled the dice by appointing Nuno on a three-year deal just days after sacking Graham Potter. The Portuguese tactician, known for his strict defensive systems and ability to organise struggling sides, faces the mammoth task of lifting West Ham from a disastrous start to the season.
But for supporters, the sting of losing Kudus in the summer transfer window remains raw. Many on social media couldn’t help but point out the irony: just as Nuno arrives to rebuild the squad, the club’s most electrifying talent of recent years is already lighting up North London in a Spurs shirt.
Fans React Online
The five-word statement has already gone viral:
“Cold from Kudus — he’s Spurs through and through now.”
“Can’t blame him, but it still hurts.”
“West Ham lost a gem. Nuno’s job just got tougher.”
Final Word
As Nuno Espírito Santo begins his reign at the London Stadium, Mohammed Kudus has sent a message as sharp as one of his trademark runs: the past is the past. His loyalty now belongs to Tottenham, and West Ham must face their new era without him.
For Hammers fans, the five words sting. For Spurs fans, they’re music to the ears.
