Mohammed Kudus, West Ham United’s dynamic Ghanaian midfielder, is staying put—at least for now. Despite intense interest from Premier League heavyweights Manchester City and Arsenal, as well as eye-watering offers from Saudi Pro League clubs, the Hammers have firmly closed the door on a January move.

Having joined West Ham from Ajax, the 24-year-old has swiftly established himself as a vital cog in David Moyes’ squad. His impressive performances this season—15 appearances, 3 goals, and 2 assists—have only solidified his importance to the team. Determined to retain their star man, West Ham has reportedly placed a staggering €120 million price tag on Kudus, far exceeding his €50 million Transfermarkt valuation.

Under contract until June 2028, with an optional one-year extension, Kudus earns an annual salary of €5.47 million. This long-term deal, coupled with the club’s unwillingness to negotiate, highlights West Ham’s commitment to keeping their prized asset.

While transfer rumors continue to swirl, one thing is clear: Mohammed Kudus will remain a Hammer, with his electrifying performances lighting up London Stadium for the foreseeable future.
