<h2>Ghanaian student ends world record attempt for longest video game marathon</h2>

<p>Vanessa, who is currently a third-year student of KNUST, will now have to submit her evidence to the Guinness World Record team for verification and confirmation.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Ghana international <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/sports/football/kudus-welcomes-inclusion-of-his-iconic-goal-celebration-in-ea-sports-next-video-game/12xd11y">Mohammed Kudus</a> has welcomed the potential addition of his iconic goal celebration in EA Sports’ FC 25 video game, which will be launched later this year.</p>

<p>Kudus has taken the Premier League by storm since joining West Ham United from Ajax Amsterdam last year.</p>

<p>While the 23-year-old reached double figures (14) for goals in a Hammers shirt last season, he also succeeded in creating an iconic goal celebration.</p>

<p>Anytime he scores, he would run to the advertising board facing the West Ham faithful, sit on it and fold his arms.</p>

<p>It is an endearing goal celebration that is fast catching on and has already been noticed by some of the players and fans on social media.</p>

<p>Manchester United youngster Alejandro Garnacho, Leicester City's Stephy Mavididi and Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface are among the players who have performed Kudus’ celebration in recent times.</p>

<p>Asked about potentially having his goal celebration in EA Sports’ FC 25, the Ghanaian said:&nbsp;<em>“Yeah, they have to put it in the game.”</em></p>
