The Ghanaian is set for his second season with the Hammers after a brilliant debut campaign. However, Kudus will play his second season under a new coach following the departure of David Moyes.

Lopetegui has been given the managerial role for the upcoming season and despite the change in the head coach role, Kudus backed himself to excel under the Spaniard.

Lopetegui has taken the reigns at the London Stadium, with the former Seville and Spain boss signing a two-year contract.

“His [Lopetegui's] style is how I want to play, how I want to attack as a winger and there is a lot of freedom, which allows me to do that," Kudu told whufc.com

"That is the most important thing for me - that I’m allowed to play how I want to. He has different tactics and a different style, but we are all working together to push the Club to the level where we want it to be," he added.
 
The 23-year-old shone in midfield throughout his first season in England, appearing 48 times for the Hammers last term in all competitions, scoring 18 goals and providing seven assists.
