After a difficult season last year, West Ham are aware of the need to strengthen considerably this summer. In order not to relive a struggle for maintenance, the London management has decided to invest and can obviously take advantage of the possible big sale of Lucas Paqueta to Manchester City to bail out the coffers. In this sense, we revealed to you that the profile of the Ghanaian international Mohamed Kudus was targeted for the attack and the negotiations with Ajax Amsterdam continued.
In recent hours, the file has accelerated thanks in particular to Tim Steidten, technical director of the English club who went directly to Amsterdam. According to our information, his presence was very effective since an agreement is now very close. The Hammers and Ajax are expected to reach a €40m deal for the 23-year-old striker.
An agreement already closed with the player
According to our indiscretions, West Ham have already agreed with Mohamed Kudus for a signing in the Premier League. All that was needed was to convince Ajax Amsterdamn to let go of their player. That should be the case. A big attacking reinforcement for David Moyes who will therefore be able to count on a versatile game capable of playing on all attacking positions. Good news with the probable departure of Lucas Paqueta.
Last season, the Ghanaian international (24 caps) scored 18 goals and provided 7 assists in 42 matches. And this season, he has already opened his league goal counter with Ajax on Matchday 1. From now on, West Ham will be able to pass the second on another file, that leading to Jérémy Doku, also tracked by Manchester City.
