“Was this my last game for Ajax? Yes, I think so. But let’s see what will happen in the next few days. The talks are continuing. We have to see if an agreement is reached in the next few days. West Ham? Yes, it’s a good club (laughs)”. Here is what Mohamed Kudus said recently, announced on departure during this summer transfer window, after a hat-trick scored on the lawn of Ludogorets in the Europa League play-off for his last appearance in the jersey of Ajax. It is now done!
As we revealed to you recently, the versatile 23-year-old Ghanaian attacking midfielder is therefore leaving Ajax Amsterdam and officially joining West Ham. A very nice shot made by the Hammers who will thus be able to rely on a new offensive asset. As a reminder, the Black Stars player (24 caps, 7 goals) scored 27 goals and provided 12 assists in 87 matches in all competitions with Ajax.
Kudus goes English!
“West Ham United are delighted to announce the signing of Mohammed Kudus. The Hammers have faced strong competition from Europe’s biggest clubs to secure the services of the Ghanaian international striker from Ajax., specifies the press release from the club to formalize the news. A deal that will bring 40 million euros to the Dutch formation. For its part, West Ham continues its ambitious transfer window after enlisting its former teammate Edson Álvarez, James Ward-Prowse (ex-Southampton) or Konstantinos Mavropanos, arrived from Stuttgart. Under the leadership of David Moyes, Kudus will now try to continue its progress.
Orphans of Nikola Vlasic, gone to Torino, and Gianluca Scamacca, transferred to Atalanta Bergamo against 25 million euros, the Hammers recover, whatever the case, one of the great revelations of the last World Cup in Qatar. In midfield as in the position of winger, the native of Accra does not cease, in fact, to speak about his unpredictability and the quality of his left foot. It now remains to impose itself in the suburbs of London in the garnet and sky blue jersey.
