West Ham could be ‘forced into Mohammed Kudus sale’ after £80m reveal
West Ham United could potentially be forced to sell Mohammed Kudus in the upcoming transfer window.
The Gahan international has been a key player for the Hammers ever since he arrived from Ajax in the summer of 2023.
Disciplinary issues have seen the 24-year-old miss a few games this season, which has led to concerns among the London Stadium faithful.
The forward is one of the most prized assets at the East London club, and they are evidently a better side with him in the team.
Mohammed Kudus summer transfer sale to be forced
Kudus may be sold by the Irons next summer in order to fund other purchases, according to West Ham Football.
The Hammers’ insider revealed on X (9 February) that the East London club could probably post losses of up to £80million at the end of the season.
With £33.3m already committed to Jean Clair-Todibo’s transfer, the chiefs at the London Stadium could look to cash in on the likes of Kudus and Lucas Paqueta.

West Ham United need Mohammed Kudus departure
Potter will undoubtedly want to make changes to the squad in the coming months and Kudus’ sale may likely be needed for financial reasons.
The English manager has taken over a squad that underperformed under Julen Lopetegui, and most players have hardly shown any signs of improvement in recent weeks.
While the former Chelsea boss has a decent reputation, his start to life in E20 has been mixed, highlighting the failure of Tim Stediten’s recruitment over the summer.
The German chief has been relieved of his duties at the Hammers, and rightfully so, after some questionable decision at the helm.
With the Irons’ funds seemingly limited, it wouldn’t be surprising to see some of the big names being linked away from the London Stadium.
While Kudus and Paqueta have been influential for the Irons, fans would understand if they were to be sold.
Jarrod Bowen is another name who could likely attract interest from top teams, but his departure would sting the most if it were to happen.
