West Ham United is reportedly ready to entertain offers for Ghanaian forward Mohammed Kudus during the January transfer window.
The Black Stars attacker has a release clause of £85 million that becomes active next summer.
Any club seeking to secure his services in January would need to present an offer close to that figure to convince West Ham to part ways with their prized asset.
The Ghanaian star has been a standout performer since joining West Ham, netting 10 goals in 38 Premier League starts and demonstrating exceptional versatility across the attacking line. His ability to adapt to various roles has made him an attractive option for clubs looking to enhance their attacking options.
Arsenal, currently struggling to find consistent scoring from open play, sees Kudus as a potential solution to their attacking woes. However, financial constraints at the Emirates mean the Gunners may need to offload players to fund a move for the dynamic forward.
West Ham’s openness to considering offers in January could set the stage for a bidding war, as other top clubs might enter the race to sign Kudus before his release clause becomes active in the summer.
The decision for Arsenal will rest on balancing squad depth and finances, but with their current struggles, a significant investment in Kudus could be a strategic move to rejuvenate their season.
