Mohammed Kudus has spoken of the demands expected by new Head Coach Graham Potter.

The West Ham forward, who also admits he hasn’t hit the heights he expects from himself much this season, knows that the side need to start delivering on a consistent basis.

“I think definitely I want more,” Kudus told the clubs Official Website. “I set higher standards for myself. I’m not there yet, but we keep working because individually and as a team, we all know the reality of the situation we are in

“Playing as the target man through the middle, it’s a bit crowded and stuff like that. On the flank, sometimes you have more space and stuff like that. It’s a whole different feeling playing in the centre and then being out wide. My aim is how to be able to analyse both situations and how I can help the team in the best possible way.”

Graham Potter arrived a fortnight ago, with a clear lift in mood and belief in east London, as Kudus talks the impact the new Head Coach has had already on the way the side operates, ahead of a tough test at Villa Park this weekend.

“He wants to play, press, try and keep the ball and literally try and win every single game,” added Kudus. “I think the aim of the whole squad is still the same, but it’s just a different way of replicating what he wants on the pitch.

“We want to win games and get up on the table. The aim and the motivation and the passion is always the same.

“Villa is a top team and we are very aware of that. We played them last two weeks ago recently in the cup and we know what to expect. Definitely, we will be ready for it since we have been preparing for the whole week for that.”
