Frustrated West Ham fans urge club to sell Mohammed Kudus after Forest defeat
Mohammed Kudus’ future at West Ham United has come under intense scrutiny following a wave of fan backlash after the club’s 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

The Ghanaian international was in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after another underwhelming performance. He was taken off in the 79th minute, and sections of the Hammers’ support took to social media, calling for the club to sell him in the upcoming transfer window.
Fans branded Kudus “lazy” and claimed he looked “uninterested” throughout the match. The criticism follows a broader sense of disappointment in his season, where he has managed just four goals and four assists in 35 appearances across all competitions.
Its got so bad Kudus can’t even be bothered to play for his move anymore

If Kudus isn’t interested then just take the big money and go.
Honestly wouldn’t bother me at all— West Ham United âš’ï¸ (@DiCanioVolley) May 18, 2025
If we could get £50m for Kudus, I’d snap your hand off. Yet another West Ham 1/2 season wonders much like Phillipe Anderson

Only 1 more game of having to watch Kudus ðŸ˜

West Ham, now 15th on the table with one game left, had gone into the break trailing 1-0 after Morgan Gibbs-White’s early strike for Forest. Nikola Milenkovic added a second after a lengthy VAR review before Jarrod Bowen pulled one back late on. The result condemned Graham Potter’s side to another defeat, compounding an already frustrating season.
Speculation around Kudus’ future has grown in recent weeks, with reports linking him to Liverpool and Arsenal. Former Hammers scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that the player is open to leaving the club. He also urged Kudus to step up his performances if he wishes to earn a move to a top side.
Kudus was previously seen as a key figure at the London Stadium following his impressive 2023/24 campaign, recording eight goals and nine assists in 33 Premier League matches. However, his form has dipped this season, and his visit to watch Arsenal against PSG at the Emirates in October only fuelled transfer rumours.
With the summer window approaching, pressure is mounting on both the player and the club to decide on his future.
