A WEST HAM fan made the massive journey from London to Ghana to watch new signing Mohammed Kudus in action.<\/p>\n
Ian, from London, made the 3,700 mile trip to Kumasi to watch the Black Cats take on the Central African Republic in an African Cup of Nations qualifying match.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Wearing a West Ham shirt as he entered the ground, Ian was spotted by a local journalist who was keen to find out why he was at the game.<\/p>\n
He told Ghanaweb: "I am here to watch Mohammed Kudus, our new signing.<\/p>\n
"He is very skilful and strong. We love him.<\/p>\n
"West Ham are massive everywhere you go.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"I\u2019m coming all the way from the UK to come and watch Kudus, 23, and the Black Stars."<\/p>\n
The game was a worthwhile watch for Ian as Ghana claimed a 2-1 victory to seal their qualification for the international tournament in the Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n
To make things even better, Kudus netted a free-kick in the 43rd minute to level the scores before Ernest Nuamah scored a dramatic winner in the 88th minute.<\/p>\n
After watching the game, Ian was then given the opportunity to meet the new Hammer.<\/p>\n
