‘West Ham announcement pending as Mohammed Kudus signing confirmed’
Mohammed Kudus’ time as a West Ham player looks to be coming to an end this summer.
Given the failures that West Ham demonstrated last season, it is crucial that they are fully prepared for the new campaign, with recruitment set to play a key role.
Graham Potter needs to be backed in the transfer market, though the Irons may have to sell before they can buy to adhere to the Premier League’s PSR rules.
Kudus is looking increasingly likely to be one of those offloaded this summer, with the Ghanaian international taking one step closer to his exit.
Kudus signs with new agency amid West Ham exit speculation
Kudus has been one of the most frustrating players at West Ham in recent years, and it all comes down to his lack of consistency from game to game.
On his day, he can be outstanding, but that day arrives very rarely, and his exit would provide the funds needed for the Irons to strengthen several positions.
| Season | Apps | Goals | Assists |
| 2024/25 | 35 | 5 | 4 |
| 2023/24 | 45 | 14 | 6 |
| Total | 80 | 19 | 10 |
As for his exit, it may not be long until it is announced, with a report from The Sun (23 June) revealing that he has now signed with ROOF, a sports management firm, which can only be seen as a way to drum up even more interest.
Saudi Pro League clubs have shown an interest, as have Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham, leaving Kudus with several options.
West Ham can greenlight Kudus exit
West Ham are in need of a rebuild to some extent, and the funds raised from Kudus’ sale would give them the financial manoeuvrability to achieve that ahead of the new campaign.
Graham Potter will want to see more transfer movement at the London Stadium ahead of their season opener away to Sunderland, with plenty of work to be done.
After such a poor campaign last time out, the Hammers simply cannot afford a slow start, amplifying the need for business to be done as early as possible.
