West Ham United on the verge of reaching agreement with Ajax to sign Ghana star Mohammed Kudus

West Ham United, an English Premier League team, is nearing an agreement with Dutch Eredivisie powerhouse Ajax to secure the services of Kudus Mohammed before the summer transfer window concludes, as reported by The Athletic, an English tabloid.

The Premier League club has officially submitted an offer of €41 million, with an additional €3 million in add-ons, including a 10% sell-on clause.

It is expected that this proposal will be accepted by their counterparts in the Eredivisie. Personal terms have been agreed upon, paving the way for the 23-year-old to ink a five-year deal with the possibility of a sixth year.

The Athletic had previously reported that West Ham had an offer rebuffed by Ajax for Kudus, who remains under contract with Ajax until 2025 but turned down a one-year extension in April.

Earlier in the summer transfer window, Chelsea and other clubs expressed interest in Kudus. Brighton & Hove Albion also reached a preliminary agreement to secure Kudus’s services earlier this month.

Kudus Mohammed is expected to make his final appearance for Ajax in the UEFA Europa League against PFC Ludogorets Razgrad on Thursday. He was part of the Ajax squad that traveled to Bulgaria earlier today.

The Ghanaian international has spent three seasons in Amsterdam, amassing 16 goals in 63 Eredivisie matches. He has also netted seven goals in 24 outings for Ghana, including two in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

While West Ham has already strengthened their midfield with the signings of Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse, they are actively seeking additional attacking reinforcements ahead of the September 1 deadline.
