West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus Teases Tax on Copycat Goal Celebrations
Mohammed Kudus, the rising star of West Ham United, has humorously hinted that imitators of his iconic goal celebration may soon find themselves facing a unique “tax” for borrowing his signature move.
The 23-year-old midfielder, who has been making waves in the Premier League since his move from Ajax Amsterdam to East London last year, has become known for his electrifying performances and memorable goal celebrations.
Kudus’s celebration routine involves sprinting towards the advertising board facing the West Ham faithful, where he casually sits and folds his arms in a pose that has captured the imagination of fans and players alike.
In a recent interview with the Guardian, Kudus shared insights into the inspiration behind his distinctive celebration, attributing it to a desire to inject creativity and entertainment into the game. He revealed that the spontaneous gesture has sparked friendly competition among players vying to replicate and even outdo his unique style.
“I just thought about something out of the box, and then some other people followed it up,” Kudus explained. “Now there’s a conversation about whose is better. I’ll have to come up with another juice and put more spices in the tin. It’s all about resting after scoring a goal.”
Despite the light-hearted nature of his celebration, Kudus playfully hinted at the possibility of a humorous twist, suggesting that imitators may soon find themselves “paying taxes” for borrowing his trademark move. While he acknowledged the freedom of others to emulate his celebration, he teased that the popularity of his gesture might lead to a playful levy on copycats in the future.
As Kudus continues to dazzle on the pitch with his skillful performances and infectious charisma, his witty banter adds an extra layer of entertainment to the game, ensuring that fans are in for a treat both on and off the field.
