David Moyes hails Kudus
Speaking ahead of Everton’s 3–0 loss to Tottenham on Sunday, Moyes could not hide his admiration for the player he once coached at West Ham United.
The Scottish manager described Kudus as a joy to work with and a complete footballer whose balance of flair, intelligence, and discipline sets him apart.
“He’s a brilliant player,” Moyes said. “He has so many attributes to his game. He is a great boy to work with. I hugely enjoyed managing him.”
The former Hammers boss went on to praise Kudus’ physical and tactical qualities.
“He has great balance, can’t be knocked off the ball, and can play inside or outside,” Moyes added. “He can play several positions if you want him.”
Kudus’ breakout season under Moyes in the 2023/24 campaign at West Ham saw him score 18 goals in all competitions, a precursor that paved the way for his move to North London two seasons later.
