West Ham United join race to sign Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus

English Premier League club West Ham United is currently expressing interest in acquiring the services of Black Stars midfielder, Mohammed Kudus, during the ongoing transfer window.

The dynamic Ajax attacking midfielder has caught the attention of the London-based team, which is keen on bolstering its midfield ranks.

According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, discussions have commenced between West Ham and Ajax to secure the 22-year-old’s signature. Kudus is being considered as a potential replacement for Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta, who is on the brink of transferring to Manchester City.

The negotiations have progressed significantly, and Kudus is reportedly receptive to the prospective move.

As a next step, West Ham United is now awaiting Ajax’s valuation to formulate an official offer for the player.

Barring any unforeseen developments, the former FC Nordsjælland playmaker appears poised to transition to the English Premier League, showcasing his talents in arguably one of the most prestigious football leagues globally.

With this development, West Ham joins the list of clubs vying for the Ghanaian international’s signature, alongside contenders such as Chelsea, Brighton, Manchester United, and several others.

Mohammed Kudus, who has expressed his readiness to depart from his current club, recently demonstrated his prowess by finding the back of the net in Ajax FC’s convincing 4-1 victory against Heracles during the opening fixture of the 2023/24 Eredivisie season.
