Kudus has six goal involvements in the Premier League this season, a poor return for a player who contributed 14 goals in all competitions during his first season at the London Stadium.
After drawing 1-1 with London rivals Tottenham on Sunday, West Ham have gone eight matches without a win.
‘It’s easy to say the season’s done, we can’t get relegated and there’s nothing to play for,’ said Hammers captain Jarrod Bowen. ‘But this is a club that prides itself on hard work and passion.
‘There are three games left to go, and we’re all determined to go and win. Ultimately, this season we haven’t done enough as a group of players to be high enough in the table.
‘It’s self-pride to go out there every single week because the worst thing is to come out of a game and think you could’ve done more.
‘But I think talk is cheap, we have to show it. We know we should be in a better position and have done better.
‘But we’re here now, and it’s down to us to win those remaining three games. That’s got to be the mindset to play for this club.’
