Mohammed Kudus being available on the market presents a transfer opportunity Arsenal simply cannot ignore. According to TBR, West Ham are nearing their PSR limits and need to offload players to ease their situation. Kudus has reportedly been identified as their most valuable asset for a sale. However, with an £85 million release clause, the report suggests this could pose a challenge for Premier League suitors.
Despite the financial hurdle, Arsenal must find a way to bring Kudus to the Emirates. He could make a tremendous difference in improving their squad.
With a rock-solid midfield and an impressive engine room, Arsenal’s primary mission this summer should be to assemble an attack capable of leading them to glory. Even before the injury crisis, Arsenal’s attack was in need of quality reinforcements. The crisis has only served to highlight the urgency of making those transfers.
Aside from securing a clinical striker, Arsenal are in dire need of a versatile forward—someone who can excel on the wings either left or right. Profiling Mohammed Kudus, he fits this mould perfectly.
According to stats from Transfermarkt, Mohammed Kudus’ preferred position is on the right wing, where he has featured in 50 matches, scoring 21 goals and delivering 8 assists. However, the Ghanaian international is equally capable on the left wing, boasting 6 goals and 3 assists in 19 appearances.
The Hammer offers Arsenal the versatile winger they desperately need. Additionally, he could be deployed as an attacking midfielder, where he has recorded 11 assists in 47 games, or even as a striker, with an impressive tally of 15 goals in 48 appearances. That said, with a new striker arriving and Havertz competing for a spot, Arsenal may not require him in a central striking role. Considering potential midfield reinforcements, he is also best suited to enhancing Arsenal’s options on the wings.
Before joining West Ham in 2023, Kudus was already on Arsenal’s radar. For reasons unknown to many Gooners, the club missed the opportunity to hijack that deal. Since then, the ex-Ajax star has flourished in the Premier League. His dribbling success rate in 2024 was remarkable—over 110 successful dribbles in the league. He is the kind of player fans pay to watch, effortlessly showcasing his skills game after game.
In 57 league appearances, Kudus has recorded 11 goals and 7 assists—impressive, considering the instability at West Ham during his time there.
There is, however, growing interest from Al Nasr, with the Saudi Pro League club reportedly ready to offer £84 million for Kudus. While Arsenal cannot compete financially with such an offer, they can appeal to his ambition to continue living his Premier League dream at the Emirates Stadium.
During the winter transfer window, TBR suggests Arsenal had made contact with Kudus’ entourage. Although no deal materialised, those channels of communication could surely be reopened. With West Ham eager to reduce their wage bill, Kudus submitting a transfer request and prioritising Arsenal as his destination, could see the Hammers compromise on their asking price.
A move for Kudus could be a defining transfer for Arsenal this summer. Wouldn’t you agree?
