It seems like West Ham have agreed a deal with Ajax for Mohammed Kudus in a deal worth €45m including add-ons. Honestly he’s a very good addition to west ham United. I think a lot of European clubs were in for his signature but them not signing him is a question on the minds of plenty of those following these clubs. There was interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea in him earlier in the window and according to Fabrizio Romano, these clubs made enquiries back in June for Kudus but nothing materialized.
West Ham United seem to be the lucky side to sign Mohammed Kudus despite interest from so many big teams in the same Premier League, including Arsenal and Chelsea. Brighton also made almost the same offer as West Ham, but the players insist they should include a release clause in his deal so as not to keep him in the club even when other big teams are looking to sign him in the future, just like they enforce a high transfer bill for Moises Caicedo, but Brighton did not agree to that, which is why West Ham were lucky to sign him.
Arsenal, on the other hand, were interested in signing him until Julian Timber was injured, which diverted their attention to looking for a replacement for Timber, who is out for almost a whole season before the transfer market closes, and the team intends to improve by bringing back Nicholas Pepe into the team for the first time in order to be a backup for Bukayo Saka and Nelson.
I think Mohammed Salah may want to join his muslim brothers in the Saudi pro league but the reality is that Liverpool are not yet ready to part ways with Mo Salah, his services are much needed at the moment. If Salah leaves Liverpool this summer it will have a huge impact on the squad going forward because he is one of the key players in the squad, Liverpool are no way prepared for the consequences of losing Salah and will therefore avoid letting him leave this summer.
Mohammed Salah actually wants to leave, but his conscience keeps him in Liverpool by giving the team the chance to decide if they want him to leave or not. I am sure all of us know how important he is to the Liverpool team, and if he leaves the club at this moment, it will actually be another bad season for them because it will be worse than playing without Sadio Mane.
