In a recent report, Fichajes stated that West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus is generating interest from Saudi Arabia. It is understood that a few teams from Saudi Arabia are eyeing a move to sign him from the Hammers next year.
Kudus’ Excellent Form In The Premier League Last Season
Kudus had a productive campaign at the East London club after he put in a lot of impressive displays for them in the final third. The Ghana international scored 14 times and picked up six assists in 45 appearances for the Hammers last season across all competitions.
The 24-year-old was a consistent performer for West Ham on the offensive end of the pitch as he averaged 2.0 shots, 0.8 key passes and 3.8 dribbles per game in the Premier League. He was even tidy when distributing possession in the opponent’s half based on his pass success rate of 84.% in the English top tier (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at West Ham will expire in the summer of 2028. Thus, the Hammers are under no pressure to cash in on him next year.
Can West Ham United Boss Julen Lopetegui Afford To Lose Kudus?
Kudus is a great dribbler with the ball and can strike the ball with power and precision from long range. He has also got the vision to cut open the opponent’s backline with a killer pass in the final third.
The Ghana international mainly operates as an attacking midfielder but can also play as a right-winger or as a striker up top if required. At the moment, he is one of the first names in West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui’s teamsheet.
Thus, the Hammers cannot afford to lose Kudus unless they receive an astronomical fee for him next year. He is still under a long-term contract at the London Stadium and could be a real asset for the East London club in the coming years.
With all things considered, West Ham would be wise to keep hold of Kudus for the long run as he could help them compete for European football over the next few seasons. At 24, the best is yet to come from Kudus at the London club.
