Arsenal will allegedly want to sign an incredible player from West Ham United during the summer transfer season.
West Ham will have our work cut out if we are to keep one of our star players out of the clutches of Arsenal in the summer transfer window it seems.
Hammers boss David Moyes needs to make a boatload of new signings in the summer, if he’s still in charge at the London Stadium of course, with his squad looking particularly thin on the ground right now.
However, the Scot’s hardest task will probably be to keep one of his star players away from Arsenal.
According to a report from Fichajes, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants to bring Mohammed Kudus to the Emirates this summer.
Michail Antonio recently described Kudus as an ‘unbelievable’ player, and he’s absolutely spot on as well. Keeping him at the club will be of paramount importance to our hopes of achieving success over the next few years…
Arsenal want to sign West Ham ace in the summer transfer window
Fichajes claim that Kudus is firmly on the Gunners’ radar ahead of the summer window.
However, I must make it very clear that I doubt the veracity of this report, purely because it claims that Arsenal are prepared to pay £39 million for the Ghana international.
West Ham paid Ajax £38 million for Kudus (Sky Sports), so there is absolutely no way we’d be willing to sell him for a profit of just £1 million!
In fact, I would suggest that the Hammers wouldn’t even contemplate selling Kudus for anything less than £70 million, and I reckon if he does leave, it will be for closer to £90-100 million.
The former Ajax ace has been in exceptional form for West Ham this season, with 10 goals and two assists to his name in just 27 games (Transfermarkt).
Kudus is incredibly powerful in possession, possesses unbelievable skill and trickery and is an explosive runner when he gets going.
I absolutely love the Ghanaian, and really hope that he remains at the London Stadium for a long time still to come.
However, if Arsenal do come in for the 23-year-old in the summer transfer window with a big money offer, the Hammers’ hopes of keeping hold of him will be slim to say the least.
That said, the Gunners had better be prepared to offer us at least double what we paid Ajax for his services six months ago.
