Arsenal are reportedly preparing a “massive offer” to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham this summer, according to [Football365](https://www.football365.com/news/arsenal-prepare-massive-offer-west-ham-kudus-liverpool-transfer).
The Gunners have faced attacking reshuffles in recent months, with Mikel Merino even filling in as a makeshift striker following injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz. Now, Kudus has emerged as a key target for Mikel Arteta as he looks to improve his atacking options.
The website claims sources close to the Ghanaian suggest that a move hasn’t been ruled out, with Kudus believed to be considering his next step. Some reports indicate he feels it might be time to join a club with greater ambitions.
However, Claret & Hugh hasn’t received any information that Kudus has made no formal push for an exit, and there’s been no sign of agitation from the player’s side.
That said, it’s something of an open secret that West Ham would be willing to sell the former Ajax man this summer. A number of players are expected to leave the London Stadium next month, and Kudus is by far the most high-profile.
Liverpool, along with two Saudi Pro League clubs, have also been heavily linked with the 23-year-old, and could rival Arsenal for his [transfer](https://www.claretandhugh.info/west-ham-transfer-news/).
Kudus has an £85 million buyout clause for Premier League clubs, though it’s doubtful whether Arsenal would be willing to meet that valuation—especially with a new striker believed to be Arteta’s top priority.
