Manchester United are vying for Mohammed Kudus ahead of the summer, with the West Ham United attacker coming in for high demand.
According to The Mirror, Manchester United are positioning themselves in the race to sign Mohammed Kudus. The Ghanaian, after a splendid season at West Ham, is primed to attract massive interest, with some of the big clubs likely to ponder approaching and probably take advantage of the Hammers’ situation.
Manchester United enters Mohammed Kudus’s chase
Manchester United are eager to make some statement signings and might be open to spending a bit on players who have proven their worth in the Premier League. Some reports suggested they might have laid down new criteria of signing only young players under a certain age, and within that, the likes of Mohammed Kudus fit in well.
Kudus is set to become one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer, with West Ham expected to find it hard to hold on to him. Liverpool have pondered a move for the Ghanaian, after he had a splendid season, scoring 18 times and providing 7 assists in all competitions for the Hammers.
Manchester United are now pondering making a move for the Ghanaian, although the Premier League attacker has plenty of high-profile suitors chasing his signature. The Red Devils have never really faced major problems attracting top players without Champions League football, and that might remain the case in the Kudus hunt.
There are some mild concerns with their spending ahead of the summer, although they might have the funds to bring a marquee signing like Kudus. However, West Ham will end up asking for a massive fee in return, as the London side is facing an indifferent period following a major blow with another one of the sale prospects.
Lucas Paqueta’s situation complicates transfer plans
West Ham was recently dealt a blow with the Lucas Paqueta betting charges situation, as the Brazilian faces a potential career-ending ban. The Hammers were expected to sell the playmaker, with Manchester City interested, and now, they are all set to lose on a massive pay day with the midfielder.
Hence, some clubs might see this as an opportunity to exploit West Ham for other players, like Kudus, who may have a release clause. However, the exit clause only activates next summer, meaning some sides might look to negotiate the price down this summer.
