West Ham slams door on Kudus transfer amid Premier League and Saudi interest

Mohammed Kudus will not be leaving West Ham United in the January transfer window as the Hammers appear unwilling to let go of their prized asset. 

The Premier League outfit has drawn a firm line, resisting growing interest from Premier League giants Manchester City and Arsenal and lucrative offers from Saudi Pro League clubs.

Since joining the London club, Kudus has cemented his reputation as a crucial figure in their squad. Determined to fend off suitors, West Ham has reportedly slapped a staggering €120 million price tag on the 24-year-old, signalling their unwillingness to negotiate.

This season, Kudus has showcased his value on the pitch, featuring in 15 matches and contributing 3 goals and 2 assists.

Signed from Dutch powerhouse Ajax, Kudus is under contract until June 2028 with an optional extension year, earning an annual salary of €5.47 million. Despite being valued at €50 million on Transfermarkt, West Ham’s valuation underscores their commitment to keeping their midfield star.

With his electrifying performances, Kudus remains a key asset, and his departure this January appears all but impossible.
