West Ham United transfer news as Mohammed Kudus agent claim emerges
West Ham are set to continue talks with Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus’ camp as they aim to reach a resolution, according to ExWHUemployee.
The reliable London Stadium insider reported on Tuesday (August 22) that the Hammers want the Ghana international’s agent to be more reasonable in transfer dealings.
The Hammers continue to look at other options while also being in talks to sign the 23-year-old.
Ex wrote on Patreon, “West Ham have revisited the Mohammed Kudos deal but are struggling to make much progress with the agent. Relations with the agent have been described as difficult so it appears it is there where the problem with the deal lays.
“The fee for the player is close apparently and the personal terms were not said to be a problem, it appears that agent demands are and that they could be holding off for other clubs to enter the fray.
“The deal is still not over but we are said to want the agent to be more reasonable before a deal can progress. Talks will continue with him over the next few days whilst we also explore other options.”
Movement needed
Kudus is a player been linked to a number of teams so his agents are well within their rights to demand high wages.
The assurances of playing time are unlikely to be unreasonable as he’s going to be one of the best players at the London Stadium.
It remains to be seen if a resolution can be reached quickly for the Ghana international.
He might thrive in that number 10 role but he’s capable of leading the line as well and scoring clutch goals in big moments.
His signing would give the other Hammers players a boost in the dressing room as well and perhaps that’s just what they need.
Hopefully, the Hammers do not give this one up and keep pushing until they can as it’s clear he wants to join them.
In other West Ham news, the club have now opened advanced talks with a Premier League player who appears to be open on leaving his side this summer.
