Another worrisome Kudus problem has been presented to West Ham, and it has a major influence on Arsenal, according to reports

Supposedly, Arsenal will be keeping an eye on West Ham United player Mohammed Kudus during the next January transfer window.

Rumour has it that Mikel Arteta, manager of Arsenal, wants West Ham player Mohammed Kudus to play for the club at the Emirates Stadium. However, the north London club is reportedly hesitant to sign Kudus because of the new PSR regulations.

Our ability to prevent Mohammed Kudus from departing next summer is rendered moot by the inclusion of an £85 million release clause in his existing deal with West Ham.

Since being sent off against Tottenham on October 19th, Kudus has not played a single game this season, denying the Hammers supporters a chance to witness him at his finest.

The 24-year-old will not be able to return to action until December 3rd, making this campaign as challenging for him personally as it has been for West Ham United.

When Kudus’ ban expires, West Ham will need him to be 100% again.

Having said that, the Ghanaian’s prospects for the future at the London Stadium are not promising at this time.

Arsenal will be affected by West Ham’s issue with Mohammed Kudus.

Since his summer 2023 transfer from Ajax—for £38 million—the 24-year-old has been brilliant for the Hammers.

Kudus has made 55 appearances for West Ham and has scored 16 goals while assisting on seven more.

He possesses the immense talent and skills necessary to continue and thrive at the top level of the game.

Losing him to Arsenal would be devastating, particularly in light of Declan Rice’s 2023 transfer to north London.

Unfortunately, we’ve taken yet another hit with Kudus, and curiously enough, Arsenal have taken a hit too.

Spanish media outlets have reported that many Saudi Arabian teams are interested in signing Kudus.

The Hammers will have little trouble matching his £85 million release clause, so this is plainly terrible news for them.

The news isn’t all negative for Arsenal, though; the teams in Saudi Arabia can pay the Ghana international a ridiculously high wage compared to what the Gunners can manage.

Mohammed Kudus joining Arsenal is the worst possible outcome for West Ham, therefore his departure for Saudi Arabia seems like the better option.

It will be extremely difficult for us to retain the 24-year-old player at this point in time due to the interest he is receiving from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.

And that is something that is quite difficult to comprehend.
