**West Ham Winger on Toon & Saudi Radar**
Just to add another layer of intrigue to an already name-packed early burst of transfer speculation, another potential suitor has been named for an in-demand Hammer.
Only this morning, London rivals Chelsea were being touted as a possible destination for [Mohammed Kudus](https://www.claretandhugh.info/mohammed-kudus-bio/). The West Ham winger is almost certainly offski this summer, and it appears interest is now ramping up.
To be absolutely fair, club and outside sources have always maintained that Kudus will be the easiest player to sell in this window. And now, Newcastle United are being added to the list of possible destinations following Bryan Mbeumo’s decision to join Manchester United.
It has since been relayed to Claret & Hugh via our usual [transfer](https://www.claretandhugh.info/west-ham-transfer-news/) sources that a potential move from Saudi Pro League clubs should not be ruled out.
The club are fully aware that no Pro League club will pay the eye-watering £120m buyout clause—but they are expecting numerous enquiries in the hope it will spark a bidding war.
Moneybags Al-Nassr are believed to want Kudus, and they have form for outbidding clubs at the last minute. In January, PSG bid €75m for former West Ham target and Aston Villa striker Jhon Durán. The move prompted a swift response from the Saudis, who topped the bid and signed the Colombian.
West Ham will be hoping for a similar outcome with Kudus.
