Reports have begun to emerge of a bust-up between West Ham head coach Julen Lopetegui and Mohammed Kudus, who had to be separated following a confrontation on Saturday.
The altercation occurred when Lopetegui singled out the winger for criticism after a poor first half against Brentford. Hammers insider ExWHUEmployee has reported that the Ghanaian had to be restrained by teammates after apparently taking offense to the coach’s observations.
Kudus was substituted at halftime, and there has been speculation that Lopetegui’s comments about teamwork and commitment were directed at the former Ajax man.
This season has started as a struggle for Kudus, who has been played out of position in most games and, as a result, has struggled to match last season’s performances.
If true, this revelation will have further ramifications for a club in desperate need of unity and stability.
Claret & Hugh have contacted our top source at the club and will report back although it’s fair to say that this is the last thing West Ham need right now.
