Mohammed Kudus wants Liverpool move as £80m development emerges
Liverpool could sign West Ham star Mohammed Kudus in the summer transfer window.
The Hammers ace has been on the Anfield club’s radar for a number of years since his breakout in the Netherlands at Ajax.
Arne Slot is understood to want to freshen up his attacking options with the likes of Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota underwhelming on Merseyside.
Kudus could be the perfect solution after a new update on his future at the London Stadium.
Kudus wants Liverpool transfer, Slot to decide
Kudus has had a poor season by his usual standards, notching just four goals and two assists in the Premier League.
However, the Anfield outfit may still reignite their interest in his services as Slot seeks to reinforce his forward line.
A report from Weekend Sports’ reporter Sebastien Vidal (4 May) claims that the Ghanaian wants to leave the London Stadium and join the champions.
It states that the Merseysiders have closely monitored the 24-year-old and Slot will have the final decision on a potential £80million swoop.
Liverpool could transform Kudus’ form
Kudus has had a disappointing campaign but the Irons have not exactly lit the world on fire under either Julen Lopetegui or Graham Potter, so it may take a change of scenery to reignite his form.
The Ghana international notched 14 goals and six assists in 45 matches across all competitions last season and those are the kind of numbers that Slot would expect if he was to join.
| Stats (Premier League) | 2023-24 | 2024-25 |
| Matches | 33 | 28 |
| Goals | 8 | 4 |
| Assists | 6 | 2 |
| Minutes played | 2,483 | 2,342 |
It may take a switch to the L4 outfit, where he would be playing alongside the likes of Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo to get the best out of him.
The Hammers ace’s versatility would be a bonus for the Reds, he can play across the front three or as an attacking midfielder, which could tempt Fenway Sports Group into pulling the trigger.
It is unlikely that they would be willing to pay the rumoured £80m fee, but if they could negotiate it down, it may be a worthwhile move as the former Nordsjaelland star still has bags of potential that he could unlock with the Merseysiders.
