Arsenal are keen to sign Ghanaian star Mohammed Kudus.
Arsenal, who were eliminated by PSG in the UEFA Champions League semi-final last night and currently sit second in the Premier League, 15 points behind Liverpool, are planning to strengthen their squad with new additions.
Kudus, who plays as an attacking midfielder and right winger, stands out for both his technical skills and football intelligence.
Arsenal have often struggled to break down deep-defending teams, and Kudus — currently playing for West Ham United — could help solve that problem.
The biggest obstacle for Arsenal is the €85 million release clause in the player’s contract. The Gunners are reluctant to pay that amount due to Kudus’ inconsistent performances this season.
However, West Ham may be open to a rebuild, which increases the likelihood of a potential transfer.
With excellent ball control, direct running ability, and a fearless style of play, Kudus is a perfect fit for Mikel Arteta’s system at Arsenal.
If the club wants to win the Premier League next season, signing a player with his profile could be crucial.
