Premier League contenders Arsenal pursue £85m West Ham star; Harvey Elliott attracts interest from top-tier clubs; Timo Werner aims for England comeback
Fresh Interest in Kudus: Arsenal Ready to Pounce
It seems the Gunners are set to reignite their pursuit of Mohammed Kudus, as reports confirm Arsenal's renewed interest in the West Ham United winger.
Previously, West Ham had been open to cashing in on Kudus to fund squad improvements following a below-par season. Now, Arsenal, long-term admirers of the Ghana international, have added him to their list of potential summer targets.
The £85m release clause in Kudus' contract may be a steep price, but it's unlikely Arsenal would be willing to pay such a lofty sum after an inconsistent campaign from the 24-year-old. Given his strong performance in the Hammers' 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium in February, his potential impact can't be ignored.
Arteta is eager to add more creativity to his team, and Kudus's skills in dribbling, vision, and goal-scoring could bolster Arsenal's attack significantly. As the Gunners' title challenge slipped away, Kudus could be the key to future success.
