Kudus, who joined West Ham from Ajax in the summer, has been a key figure for the Hammers when available, offering creative flair and goal-scoring ability in midfield. His return is expected to add much-needed dynamism to the team as they navigate a favourable fixture schedule during the festive period.

Ghana and West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus will return to action for the Hammers on Tuesday after completing his five-game ban in the Premier League.
