Mohammed Kudus Transfer Updates
West Ham United star midfielder Mohammed Kudus has been a valuable asset since he joined the East London club. Kudus joined West Ham from the Dutch giants Ajax on a five-year contract. Even though the team has been going through a turbulent run of form, Kudus has continued to impress regardless. Sometimes there have been questions raised over Kudus’ consistency and big match performances. However, he has shown enough flashes to justify the claims of his world-class potential.
But this campaign more than once, the 24-year-old Ghana international has been far below his level. This substandard performance has also been accompanied by a poor season for West Ham overall. Kudus has not been able to unlock his potential under both the managers, Julian Lopetegui and Graham Potter.
However, there may yet be a happy ending to the nightmare season for Mohammed Kudus. Arsenal Football have seemingly identified Kudus as a transfer target. According to reports, a whooping bid of £60m is being prepared to sign the talented midfielder. It is also believed that Kudus is keen on being part of the ambitious project at Arsenal.
There have not been any official advancements at this time from the Gunners. However, West Ham are well aware that it is going to be a hectic summer ahead for Kudus. He is expected to attract interest from a plethora of clubs. West Ham fear that they might not have Kudus’ services for much longer.
Arsenal Set Their Sights On Kudus
Arsenal football club seem adamant on adding Kudus to their attacking ranks this summer transfer window. The £60m transfer fee might come as a surprise to some fans despite Kudus’ current struggles. However, the Gunners are mightily impressed by his debut campaign for West Ham and view him as a potential missing cog in their midfield.
Arsenal are expected to be busy in the upcoming summer transfer window. It is essential that they do sufficient business as they strive for the much-coveted Premier League trophy. With Jorginho leaving and Thomas Partey’s situation also unsettled, Arsenal’s midfield is crying out for new additions.
Manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta have identified Kudus as their potential target. The Arsenal scouting department view Kudus’ current struggles and untapped potential as a calculated risk.
This could be a career-defining move from Kudus’ perspective as well. Sources indicate that Kudus is ready to take up this challenge. He is optimistic regarding helping Arsenal in crowning them the champions of England after a barren period of 21 years.
Authors Opinion
Arsenal are not a million miles away from achieving success at this point of time. However, there always seems to be a missing piece in the puzzle for the Gunners. The inclusion of Mohammed Kudus would definitely offer a new dimension to Arsenal’s midfield. This would inject the versatility and creativity that they have been craving this entire season.
Ødegaard’s dip in form has meant that Arsenal football club have failed to create adequate chances to score goals. Kudus’ pace and ability to dribble past players will definitely create more space for the forward players. This would enable them to take more shots at the opposition goal, which they have not been doing this season.
Kudus also provides a healthy output in terms of goal involvement from the midfield. Arsenal have been lacking this attribute amid Ødegaard’s current struggles. Kudus also has a physical profile which aligns with Mikel Arteta’s wishes. The Arsenal boss demands his players to work equally hard on and off the ball.
It seems as if all the Kudus’ strong attributes are essentially what Arsenal are lacking right now. Everything indicates towards mutually beneficial partnership between Kudus and Arsenal. It would be fascinating to see if Arsenal can complete this transfer successfully in the upcoming summer transfer window.
