Mohammed Kudus, a winger for West Ham United, has been linked to celtic , and a former scout for the team has talked about Kudus’s future.
Given how well Kudus has performed while playing at the London Stadium, it is not shocking to learn that the Ghanaian international is being pursued by a number of teams, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City, according to a Football Insider report.
Kudus is likely too costly for many of the clubs, according to former West Ham scout Mick Brown, who is also quoted in that piece.
involvement, but he also acknowledged that you can never be too certain of Chelsea’s intentions in the transfer window.
Football Insider estimates that Kudus would cost as much as £85 million. While the 24-year-old is clearly a top player, it’s unclear if he is worth that much, and it’s questionable if any of the aforementioned clubs really need to spend that kind of money given that they already have a large number of attacking players who are comparable to him.
Mohammed Kudus transfer: Will Chelsea pull off an unexpected acquisition?
It’s difficult to see why Arsenal would prioritize Kudus when they already have excellent wide-forwards like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard, plus Raheem Sterling recently moved to the Emirates Stadium on loan.
While giving Mohamed Salah a new contract would undoubtedly be the club’s top priority, Liverpool may want to consider replacing him soon. They also have Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz, and Diogo Jota as attacking options.
“I know other clubs are interested and have been watching him,” Brown told Football Insider. “But I’ve seen an £85 million release clause mentioned, I’ve heard that could put some of the other teams in a difficult position.” Still, Brown can imagine it might be the Blues who move for Kudus as it’s certainly true that you can never exactly rule them out of spending a lot of money and looking to have as big a squad as possible.
interested clubs following a change.
He would have to be in a position where he wants to leave the team, but no one is willing to pay £85 million for him when you look around.
“Liverpool won’t be able to afford it because Man City already has an abundance of wide players. Where would he fit into the Arsenal team? In the Chelsea squad, where does he go?
“Cole Palmer is one of the top players in the league right now, Madueke is performing admirably, and they have a ton of wide players that don’t get close to the squad.
But with Chelsea, you never know. We’ll watch their development.
Assuming Madueke maintains his current performance, CFC won’t need to acquire Kudus. However, with the uncertainty surrounding players like Sancho and Mudryk, it’s possible that Kudus will appeal to certain Stamford Bridge decision-makers.
