Nigel Reo-Coker believes Mohammed Kudus could have a similar impact at West Ham United to that of Jeremy Doku at Manchester City.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, the pundit made this claim as he said that David Moyes made the wrong choice by playing him in midfield against Everton.
Nigel Reo-Coker reckons that if Mohammed Kudus is played as a winger, he could set the world alight like Jeremy Doku.
Nigel Reo-Coker says Mohammed Kudus could have the ‘same impact’ at West Ham as Jeremy Doku
Branded as ‘outstanding’ by Micah Richards, the Belgian wideman has hit the ground running at the Etihad Stadium.
So much so that many felt Jack Grealish’s place in the starting XI at City was under threat due to the 21-year-old’s arrival from Rennes.
However, Nigel Reo-Coker believes Mohammed Kudus could be having an impact similar to Jeremy Doku in sky blue.
“When you say attacking selection this weekend [against Everton], for me, why is he playing Kudus in the middle instead of out wide? I think Kudus can have the same impact as Doku does for Manchester City. [Lucas] Paqueta should be your middle man, he’s the guy that can orchestrate everything”, he said.
“I think playing Kudus in the middle is something for me you can kind of question. He needs to be out wide, high, one-on-one against defenders and then producing his magic up there.”
Proof of the fact that Jeremy Doku is already turning heads
Despite having started a mere five games for Manchester City so far, the fact that Jeremy Doku already seems like the benchmark for brand-new widemen proves how brilliant he has been from the get-go.
Considering wingers generally start slowly under Pep Guardiola, it would not have been outlandish to believe that the same would be the case with the speedster.
But instead, Jeremy Doku has made the Premier League look like his playground so far, which is a testament to his frightening talent.
