According to Caught Offside, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are on alert to the prospect of signing Mohammed Kudus as West Ham United are ready to sell the attacker. The Hammers are seeking a good price for the forward and use the funds to build their squad in the summer.
Mohammed Kudus might not be heading to a good ending to his season at West Ham United but he remains a formidable talent that many clubs are interested in. He has three goals and two assists to show for his cause in this Premier League campaign, which has somewhat hurt the Hammers in their quest to get interested parties to trigger his release clause.
The clause is believed to be more than £80 million depending on the credibility of the reporting, although interested teams like Liverpool and Arsenal are unwilling to trigger that clause. That does not mean the duo are not interested, as they are joined by Chelsea in the hunt for Kudus ahead of the summer.
Mohammed Kudus has shown he can be a lethal attacker, and his two years’ worth of experience playing in the Premier League will play a big role. Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are likely to chase the 24-year-old West Ham mainstay in the summer, and the London outfit will be keen to understand what level of offers arrive on their table.
West Ham are ready to sell Kudus for the right price, as Graham Potter wants funds to build the squad as per his specifications. The Hammers may not be flush with cash, and given the season the Ghanaian international has had, they would be open to letting him leave. Someone like Chelsea are open to the prospect as Enzo Maresca will not oppose adding another attacker into the mix.
Liverpool are also looking to revamp their attacking setup as some key stars such as Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz’s futures have been called into question. Irrespective of whether there are departures from the club, Arne Slot is keen to add further depth to his attack, as they could view Mohammed Kudus as a key target depending on his asking rate.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta is looking for options he could use to rotate with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka. The duo are Arsenal’s starting wingers and he seeks to add another one to the mix to give the team different ideas in games. Whether to achieve that Arsenal are prepared to pay big remains the question, as none of those interested clubs are expected to pay West Ham’s current asking price which is the release clause.
