Could Mohammed Kudus be on his way out of West Ham? The right winger, formerly of Ajax, registered five goals and three assists across 32 Premier League appearances this season. This was a respectable campaign that has seemingly drawn the attention of Neom, a club newly promoted to the top Saudi Arabian league, who are reportedly prepared to invest heavily this summer.
Transfer Details
West Ham reportedly values the player at approximately 70 million pounds. Meanwhile, the proposed annual salary package the Saudi club is prepared to offer is estimated to be in the range of 15 to 20 million euros per year.
Other Interested Clubs
Competition for Kudus had previously emerged from Chelsea, who had made an early approach hoping to potentially include two players in a deal: goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. However, the asking price remained roughly the same, around 85 million euros, which was considered too high by the Blues` valuation. For Neom, it`s suggested that the fee itself might not be the primary hurdle, but rather the player`s potential preference. In recent weeks, another club from the Emirates, Al Nassr, was also mentioned as a possibility, contingent on Cristiano Ronaldo`s departure, which ultimately did not occur. Other prominent Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal, are reportedly keeping a close watch on how the situation unfolds in the coming weeks.
