Arsenal want West Ham forward, he’s fully open to leaving his club | OneFootball

Arsenal are monitoring the situation of West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus ahead of next summer, according to the Daily Mail.

The Gunners were linked with an interest in the Ghana international before he joined the Hammers from Ajax in 2023, and they remain keen on recruiting his services.

However, they may need to break the bank for him as West Ham are bracing themselves for offers for the 24-year-old at the end of the season.

His £85 million release clause will reactivate in the next summer window, and the fact that he still has over three years left on his contract means West Ham are not under any pressure to sell him.

Liverpool are also keen on Kudus, but they could decide to look elsewhere for attacking reinforcements if his asking price is not reduced.

He has two goals and an assist in ten games this season after netting 18 goals and seven assists in 48 games last term.

Kudus can play in various attacking positions, and Arsenal could utilise his versatility as they bid to become a more dominant force in England and Europe.

However, they have Profit and Sustainability rules to worry about, which could see them refuse to activate his buyout clause.

RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, who has a £55m release clause, is a more viable option.
