Liverpool secured a massive win on Sunday against West Ham, where Mohammed Kudus was a nuisance for the Reds.

The Ghana international is regarded as one of the most dangerous attackers in the Premier League with the Irons, though Kudus‘ form has taken a big hit this season with West Ham sat 17th in the standings with six games to go.

Despite this, Liverpool players and Arne Slot were impressed with Kudus’ performance at Anfield, sparking rumours that the former Ajax superstar could be an attacking target for the Reds going into the summer.

And Kudus has now made a claim about Liverpool that could help his case in securing a move to the red half of Merseyside.

Speaking to West Ham’s official website, the 24-year-old attacker lauded Liverpool as ‘the best team’ in England, with Kudus praising the Hammers for giving the champions-elect a good game and almost coming away from Anfield with something.

Kudus was linked with Liverpool in the January transfer window where rumours were strong that the Ghana international could leave West Ham, with the versatile forward opting to stay despite tensions being high between the player and the club.

Yet this summer could well see Kudus leave east London for good, and Liverpool might be a potential destination for the West Ham man, especially with the Reds in the market for a new attacker this summer.

Kudus said: “I’m very proud of the team and everyone because we gave it our all.

We knew playing at Anfield against the best team in the league was going to be a tough challenge, but I think everyone stood up against it for the whole game.”

With three goals and three assists in all competitions this season, Kudus’ form isn’t exactly going to get the likes of Liverpool off their seats to immediately snatch up the former FC Nordsjaelland superstar in the summer.

Yet with Slot a fan of Kudus and the forward previously showing what he’s capable of in the Premier League with West Ham under David Moyes, a change of scenery to one of the best clubs in the division could help get the best out of the Ghanaian talent.

Moreover, Slot has shown this season he is capable of getting the best out of attackers who fit his system, with Kudus a perfect profile for the Dutch manager, who this summer could sell Darwin Nunez after yet another poor season at Liverpool.
