Ghanaian forward Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Stephy Mavididi replicated the 'take a seat' celebration after the latter had scored for Leicester in their 3-2 victory over Birmingham on Monday night.
The goal celebration involves players going to the advertising hoardings to take a seat and this is quickly becoming Kudus' hallmark goal celebration in the Premier League.
Due to its originality, the 'take a seat' celebration has resonated with fans and fellow footballers, leading other players like Issahaku and Mavididi to embrace it.
Kudus has made a significant impact since joining West Ham United this summer, scoring nine goals in 15 appearances for the Hammers to become one of David Moyes's key players at the London club.
The "take a seat" goal celebration instantly became a hot topic on social media after the match last Monday night.
Moyes rues Mohammed Kudus absence
Meanwhile, West Ham manager, Moyes has admitted the absence of Kudus will be 'a huge blow' to the ambitions of the London club when he departs for the Africa Cup of Nations.
The 23-year-old forward, who is set to lead the Black Stars' attack at the 2023 edition of the AFCON in Cote d'Ivoire, will miss about nine matches if the Hammers continue to progress in both domestic cup competitions.
Kudus has become an integral member of the West Ham team this season and his absence would be hugely felt by the Hammers, who are pushing to seal their place in European action this season.
