Kudus joined the East London outfit in the summer of 2023 and enjoyed an impressive debut campaign, bagging 18 goals and 10 assists in 48 total appearances.
But he struggled to meet the same levels in 2024-25 as scored just five times in 32 Premier League matches.
West Ham are ready to cash in on the Ghanaian this summer to raise funds for new arrivals.
BBC Sport claim that several clubs have expressed interest in signing the 24-year-old, including Chelsea and one other Premier League side.
West Ham have enquired about the availability of goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, with Lukasz Fabianski having left the club at the end of the season.
Chelsea are ready to include Sanchez as part of a deal for Kudus, but that is not acceptable for Graham Potter’s side.
Arsenal identified the Ghana international as a target before he signed for the Irons in 2023. They could reignite their interest in the young attacker.

Kudus has three years left on his current contract, with the club also having an option to extend it by 12 months.
He is open to leaving West Ham this summer, but he wants to join a club that can provide him with Champions League football.
