In an ambitious bid to bolster their attack and stay competitive in the Premier League title race, Arsenal are reportedly targeting West Ham’s versatile forward, Mohammed Kudus. The Ghanaian international, currently contracted with the Hammers until 2028, has caught Arsenal’s eye, with reports suggesting the club is prepared to invest a hefty £83 million (€100 million) to bring him to the Emirates.

The 24-year-old’s recent appearance at Arsenal’s Champions League victory over PSG in October hinted at his potential interest, although it remains uncertain if the visit was at the club’s invitation. Kudus has shown his capabilities against Arsenal before, notably scoring in West Ham’s 3-1 Carabao Cup victory over the Gunners last November. Now, with aspirations to consistently compete in European competitions, a move to Arsenal could provide the exposure he seeks on a larger stage.

Kudus’ adaptability—being able to play both centrally and on the wings—would fit well with manager Mikel Arteta’s flexible tactics as Arsenal aim for silverware across multiple fronts. Despite the release clause set at £85 million, Arsenal appears determined to secure the young star for next season, giving Arteta another weapon in their push for Premier League and European success.
