What was meant as a playful remark struck a nerve with many who once adored him. The comment sparked anger, with some branding it a betrayal.

A section of West Ham fans even went as far as labelling him “Judus”, drawing parallels between Kudus and Judas Iscariot for his betrayal.

For many, the speed with which he sealed the transfer only deepened the sense of loss.

The fallout has stretched so far that some Hammers supporters have already vowed to make his first return to the London Stadium a hostile one.
