Mohammed Kudus could be on the move this summer — but any suitor will need deep pockets to land the West Ham star.

Less than a year after joining the Hammers in a £38 million deal from Ajax, Kudus is already attracting attention from major clubs, with Arsenal reportedly among those keen. However, West Ham have made it clear they won’t part with the Ghanaian playmaker easily.

The 24-year-old signed a five-year contract in 2023, with the club holding the option for an extra year. His release clause — which becomes active on 1 July for a short period — sets high thresholds: £80 million for European clubs, £85 million for Premier League sides, and a staggering £120 million for Saudi Arabian interest.

Although Kudus is said to be open to a new challenge, West Ham’s tight transfer budget means they need to sell before buying — but they’re unwilling to offload their dynamic winger for less than his full value. Despite a slight dip in form since the early part of the season, he remains a prized asset.

With the summer transfer window opening on 1 June, all eyes will be on Kudus to see if a big-money move materialises. As of now, no official bids have been tabled.
