“I’ve been dreaming to play in a league like this since I was a kid.
“I’ve been dreaming of this moment, and I’m so happy to be here. But it doesn’t stop here, I want to keep going.
“I try my best to entertain the fans as I think that’s what football is all about. I’m just here to do my best and help the team. I’m really happy to be here. I will fight for the badge. I can’t wait to get started,” he told the club’s website.
He becomes the third Ghanaian to play for West Ham after John Paintsil and Andre Ayew.
Kudus made 87 appearances for Ajax for his three-year spell, scoring 27 goals and providing 12 assists in all competitions.
