As West Ham United faces the possibility of losing Mohammed Kudus, with Arsenal rumored to be keen on acquiring the versatile midfielder, the club’s management is already exploring strong replacement options. If Kudus departs in the summer, the Hammers stand to gain a significant £85 million, which they could reinvest to strengthen the squad.

One leading candidate is Andreas Skov Olsen, the 24-year-old Danish winger currently with Club Brugge. Olsen has turned heads with 46 goals and 26 assists across 114 appearances, displaying a combination of technical skill, pace, and a powerful shot. However, his style differs from Kudus’, meaning West Ham would likely need two players to replicate the Ghanaian’s impact.

At an estimated £30 million, Olsen’s potential arrival could still leave funds to bolster other areas, allowing West Ham to emerge from the transition stronger. However, club insiders suggest the key to success will be learning from their previous transfer missteps, like the challenges faced in replacing Declan Rice in 2023.
