West Ham United are prepared to cash in on Ghanaian star Mohamed Kudus in January if they receive a sizable offer, with Arsenal reportedly weighing up a move for the forward.
Kudus, 24, is believed to have an £85 million release clause that becomes active in the summer, meaning any January bid would need to match or come close to that figure. Arsenal, struggling for goals from open play, are keen to bolster their attacking options and see Kudus as a potential solution.
The Gunners’ interest comes amid financial constraints, with the club likely needing to sell players to fund a move for Kudus. Since joining West Ham, Kudus has impressed, scoring ten goals in 38 Premier League starts and showcasing his versatility across the frontline.
West Ham’s willingness to consider offers in January could spark a bidding war, as other top clubs may also look to secure the dynamic Ghanaian’s services before his release clause becomes active.
For Arsenal, the decision to move for Kudus hinges on balancing their squad and finances, but with their current struggles in attack, a significant investment may be deemed necessary to reignite their season.
Whether the Gunners will meet West Ham’s demands remains to be seen.
