Mohammed Kudus has shared the inspiration behind his memorable goal celebration, which featured an elephant stool, following his goal for West Ham against Brighton. The 24-year-old Ghanaian forward, known for his unique "take a seat" celebration, took things a step further during this match by introducing a custom-made elephant stool. Kudus explained that the stool symbolizes traditional authority in Ghana, where chiefs and kings sit on such stools as a mark of respect and leadership. His decision to include the stool in his celebration was a tribute to his Ghanaian roots, as he wanted to bring a piece of his heritage to the world of football.
Speaking after the match, Kudus elaborated on how the stool was a reflection of his background and culture. He explained that, in Ghana, the stool is a symbol of authority and pride, particularly for traditional leaders. By incorporating it into his celebration, Kudus sought to share a part of his life and heritage with his global audience. "It’s a special stool from Ghana," he said, adding that he wanted to showcase something meaningful from his home country. This celebration was also a way for Kudus to stand out, as he noticed that many other players had started mimicking his iconic "take a seat" celebration. His creative approach was designed to make a bold statement and to celebrate his culture.
Kudus also explained that the elephant, which is a revered symbol of power and authority in Ghana, was another element added to his celebration to emphasize his connection to his heritage. His "take a seat" celebration had gained attention over time, and the elephant stool was an innovation that allowed him to continue showcasing Ghanaian culture while adding a new twist. Now with three goals in the Premier League this season, Kudus is enjoying a successful spell at West Ham and continues to make waves both on and off the field. As the team prepares for their upcoming match against Southampton, Kudus remains focused on maintaining his good form and using his platform to highlight his Ghanaian heritage and inspire others.
