Arsenal make £50m decision on Kudus transfer amid West Ham exit news
Arsenal have shown an interest in signing Mohammed Kudus from West Ham in the summer transfer window.
With West Ham’s season set to amount to nothing, plans will already have been initiated on the recruitment front ahead of the summer window.
Graham Potter’s future remains uncertain, but if the Englishman remains at the London Stadium, he will need to be backed, and the Irons may look to sell before they buy.
With that in mind, Arsenal could offer Kudus an exit route from the Hammers, with a fresh £50million claim made.
Kudus could leave West Ham this summer
Kudus has cut a frustrated figure this season, having failed to showcase his quality on any form of consistent basis.
Taking that into account, the West Ham forward has been linked with a move away, and according to a report from TBR, Arsenal have prepared their budget for a move.
| West Ham | Games | Goals | Assists |
| Kudus | 28 | 4 | 2 |
However, the Gunners will not be willing to meet his release clause, and have instead suggested that they will not go beyond a £50million deal to sign the Ghanaian.
Kudus’ release clause at the London Stadium is believed to be set at the £85m mark, but as things stand, there isn’t a side willing to trigger it, leaving a question mark over his future.
West Ham may sell to buy this summer
Given how poor Kudus has been this season, it would be no surprise to see him leave in the next few months, though for what price is unknown.
However, it is still likely to be a respectable fee if he does move on, and the Irons could use that to strengthen several areas of their team as they look to put the nightmare of the current campaign behind them.
This summer will be huge for West Ham, and if they have any ambition, they ned to recruit well and invest wisely to have any chance of progressing on the pitch.
