West Ham have received enquiries from “three Premier League clubs” for Mohammed Kudus, according to a club spokesman.
Hammers News have been told by the insider that, while bids have not been formally lodged, the Ghanaian international does have genuine suitors:
“There is interest in Mohammed from three Premier League clubs, but no official offers yet. I can’t obviously name the clubs but he has really returned to form over the last five-six Premier League games.”

“The problem we have with him is that he really needs to play on the right, and we have Jarrod in that position.”
Who are the teams pursuing Kudus?
Newcastle have been credited with an interest in the 25-year-old most recently. They are keen to reinforce their options on the right flank, despite Jacob Murphy having an excellent season.
Manchester United have also been exploring the market for similar players, having been linked with Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo this week.
Arsenal and Liverpool have been mentioned as possible destinations in the past but they are currently focused on recruiting other players, with the former hoping to snap up Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, while the latter are in talks to buy Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz.
How much will West Ham demand for the forward?
Although Kudus has an £85m release clause in his contract, there is very little chance that a club will pay that amount due to his less-than-stellar performances this campaign.
It has been suggested that the Irons may accept a bid below £60m. The London club need to raise funds in order to finance Graham Potter’s squad overhaul. We shall have to wait and see whether one of the three unnamed clubs steps up their attempts to sign Kudus over the coming days.
