Former West Ham United player Frank McAvennie has voiced his apprehension regarding the possible departure of Mohammed Kudus from the club in the upcoming summer transfer window. McAvennie, a former Scottish striker, expressed doubts about Kudus continuing his journey with the Hammers for the next season.
Since his arrival from Ajax Amsterdam last summer, Mohammed Kudus has made a notable impact during his debut season in the Premier League.
However, his impressive performances have caught the attention of several top clubs, sparking speculation about his future at West Ham.
McAvennie believes that Kudus, along with another player, may be on the verge of departing from the club.
“I think we have people who can score goals. We have Kudus and Paqueta… keeping those two is the biggest problem for me, I’m afraid they’ll both leave, that’s what I keep hearing.
I don’t want to bring in two defenders but get rid of Kudus and Paqueta. We have to keep them and find defenders,” McAvennie remarked, highlighting his concerns about the potential departure of key players.
McAvennie’s apprehension is not unfounded, considering the growing interest in Kudus from various prominent European clubs, with Manchester United reportedly among them.
The Ghanaian midfielder’s promising performances have made him a sought-after talent in the transfer market, presenting a challenge for West Ham to retain his services amidst stiff competition.
As the summer transfer window approaches, West Ham United faces the task of negotiating to secure Kudus’s future at the club, amid the looming threat of lucrative offers from rival clubs.
The outcome of these negotiations will likely have significant implications for West Ham’s squad composition and ambitions for the upcoming season.
With uncertainty surrounding Kudus’s future, West Ham supporters are anxiously awaiting developments regarding the talented midfielder’s contract situation.
McAvennie’s concerns echo those of many fans, who hope to see Kudus remain a pivotal figure in the Hammers’ lineup for seasons to come.
