West Ham United, in a bid to celebrate Mohammed Kudus’ goal against Manchester United, once again incorporated Ghanaian music into the scene.
The club’s official handle posted a TikTok video highlighting Kudus’ exceptional goal in the English Premier League. The video was accompanied by the popular Ghanaian Christmas song “December to Remember,” bringing an additional layer of excitement to the celebration.
Kudus played a pivotal role in the game, contributing to West Ham’s second goal after Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring. The TikTok video, accompanied by the festive song, highlighted the significance of the match as West Ham’s last game before Christmas.
