Arsenal bound? Spanish outlet reports Gunners interest in Mohammed Kudus

Arsenal are determined to strengthen their attack with the signing of West Ham star player Mohammed kudus, reports in the Spanish press have suggested.

According to Spanish outlet Filchajes, the Gunners are ready to spend £83m (100m euros) on the attacking midfielder.

The report further indicates that Mohammed Kudus is already sold on the move and is ” keen to join the Gunners to play European football.”

In October, Mohammed Kudus was at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal beat PSG 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League. It is however unclear if the Ghanaian was at the game on Arsenal’s invitation.

Before that, Kudus infamously scored in West Ham’s 3-1 win over Arsenal in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup in November last year at the London Stadium.

Kudus is currently under contract with the Hammers until 2028, with an option to extend further, but his ambition to play in European competition could see him move closer to Arsenal.

The Ghanaian’s ability to excel in both wide and central areas, in addition to his tactical malleability could make him an asset to Arsenal and Mikel Arteta’s ambition to compete on multiple fronts.

Per the report, the Gunners are prepared to exhaust all available options to execute the Kudus operation next summer.

The report further adds that not even the £85m release clause in the player’s contract will deter Arsenal who are prepared to go great lengths to land their target.
