Newcastle United have joined Arsenal and Liverpool in the race to sign one Premier League superstar. The star is 24 years old and will cost any interested club a hefty amount of money.
The star in question here is West Ham winger Mohammed Kudus. Kudus came into attention while playing for Ajax which saw him move to England last season. He responded very well and had a very good first season with Hammers.
Kudus is being linked with a move away from Hammers due to the club’s current situation. The london based club is struggling at the moment and are on 14th position in Premier League. This means they can miss their spot in European competitions next season.

Earlier, Gunners and Reds were the only two clubs who were heavily linked with Kudus. But now, Daily Express have reported that the Magpies are keen to sign the 24 year old in order to improve their attack.

Newcastle may lose Alexander Isak next year who is heavily linked with Arsenal. This may force the Magpies to make some big moves in order to find perfect replacement for Isak. Despite Kudus not playing in exact same position as Isak, he looks like a quality replacement.
Arsenal are planning to sign a quality winger who can be an upgrade on Martinelli and Trossard. On the other hand, Liverpool are keen to replace Mohamed Salah due to his contract situation. The Egyptian will be out of contract at the end of this season.
Signing Kudus won’t come cheap as Hammers have no intention to sell him. They will demand the interested parties to pay his full release clause of £85 million. As of now, all of these three clubs have the financial muscle to get this deal done.
