West Ham are unlikely to let go of Mohammed Kudus without a fight

Kudus has become an integral part of the Hammers' squad since his move from Ajax.

Given his impressive performances, including his goal-scoring contributions and flair on the pitch, the Irons are highly unlikely to let him go without a significant fight.

Kudus has not only been a key player for the first team but also demonstrated his value in the Premier League, making him a prized asset.

Any move for the Ghana international in January would require a substantial financial offer due to his importance to the team and how well he's adapted to the Premier League.

The Hammers would surely demand a hefty sum to part ways with such a talented and influential player, especially considering his recent form and the potential he holds for future contributions.

Clubs like Arsenal, Newcastle, or Liverpool would need to prepare for a high-stakes negotiation to secure his transfer.
