West Ham United must go all-out to sign Mohammed Kudus, ace leads way in key attacking area
West Ham have had a topsy-turvy summer transfer window, which all kicked off in dramatic fashion with the sale of Declan Rice.
The Hammers have, however, since replaced their £105million man with the signatures of James Ward-Prowse and Edson Alvarez.
Both impressed in their debuts in the 3-1 win against Chelsea on Sunday (20 August), with West Ham announcing their third signature in defender Konstantinos Mavropanos.
The Greek international has joined on a five-year deal, and could make his debut in claret and blue against Brighton on Saturday (26 August).
But David Moyes isn’t satisfied with just those three, with the Hammers wanting to strengthen in attack, identifying Ajax ace Mohammed Kudus as one player who can help them in that area.
According to Sky Sports (22 August), the East London club have had two bids rejected by Ajax for the Ghana international.
But this should be a deal that West Ham really shouldn’t give up on, with Kudus proving in the early stages of the new season that he could be a top, top player in claret and blue.
According to Squawka (22 August), the attacker boasts the highest Expected Assists (1.51) in Europe’s top seven leagues this season, from just four chances created.
It is above the likes of Premier League stars Kaoru Mitoma (1.28), Bruno Fernandes (1.26) and James Maddison (1.2).
The Ajax and Ghana star already has one goal and one assist to his name from his 180 minutes on the pitch so far this season.
In other West Ham news, James Ward-Prowse had a debut to remember as he broke a Premier League record against Chelsea.
