Outperformed Brighton

With (for 40 million euros to Arsenal) and (for 38 million euros to West Ham), Ajax Amsterdam have already lost two top-class players to the Premier League this summer, and another could follow. Such as “The Athletic” and Fabrizio Romano report, Mohammed Kudus is facing a transfer to West Ham United, where he would face Álvarez again. All in all, the trio has a total market value of 117 million euros, and the added fees are also included in this range.

According to the portal, the “Hammers” submitted an offer of 41 million euros plus 3 million euros in bonuses for Kudus to Ajax, which is estimated at 40 million euros. The deal also includes a 10% resale fee. As with Timber and Álvarez, a change of this magnitude would mean a whopping plus for the Dutch record champions after signing the 23-year-old attacking midfielder in 2020 for 9 million euros. His working paper is valid until 2025.

Goals & Highlights by Mohammed Kudus (Ajax Amsterdam)

Kudus, who has also been interested in Chelsea FC and Brighton & Hove Albion, has a five-year deal with the east Londoners with an option for a further season. The Ghanaian international is said to have already reached an agreement in principle with Brighton before the transfer poker took a different turn and West Ham are now in pole position. If a deal for the rumored sum is fixed, Kudus will become the third most expensive new signing in the club’s history and could climb to second place thanks to bonuses.
