Manchester United eye West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus

Manchester United have reportedly entered the race to secure the signature of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Ghana international has garnered significant interest following an impressive first season with the Hammers, leading to a flurry of attention from top clubs.

According to sources cited by The Mirror, Manchester United are keen on bolstering their squad with statement signings, and Kudus fits the bill as a player who has excelled in the Premier League.

The Red Devils are said to be considering a move for the talented youngster as they aim to strengthen their attacking options.

Reports suggest that Manchester United may have adjusted their transfer strategy to focus on young players, aligning with Kudus’ profile as a promising talent.

The 23-year-old’s stellar performances, which saw him notch 18 goals and provide seven assists across all competitions for West Ham, have undoubtedly attracted attention from several top clubs.

Liverpool have also been linked with a potential move for Kudus, further highlighting the Ghanaian’s growing stature in European football. However, Manchester United’s reputation for attracting top talent, even without Champions League football, could give them an edge in the race for Kudus’ signature.

Despite potential concerns surrounding their transfer budget, Manchester United are reportedly prepared to invest in a marquee signing like Kudus. However, West Ham are expected to demand a substantial fee for the talented attacker, especially amid the uncertainty caused by the Lucas Paqueta betting charges situation.

West Ham’s recent setback with Paqueta’s situation could prompt other clubs to exploit the club’s predicament by targeting players like Kudus, who may have release clauses in their contracts. While Kudus’ exit clause is reportedly set to activate next summer, negotiations could still occur to secure his services ahead of schedule.
