West Ham United want Mohammed Kudus and have joined both Everton and Borussia Dortmund in the race for the Ajax sensation.
The Hammers picked up a valuable 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday evening.
That game saw Gianluca Scamacca announced himself on the Premier League stage whilst fellow summer signings Maxwell Cornet, Lucas Paqueta and Thilo Kehrer also started.
West Ham had a very busy and very positive summer window, but David Moyes and co are still interested in more additions in January.
West Ham United want Mohammed Kudus
A new name in the mix is Ajax star Mohammed Kudus.
Calciomercato claim that West Ham have now joined Everton and Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in the race for him.
Even Brighton and Hove Albion are now mentioned as being in the hunt for Kudus after a superb start to the season.
The attacking midfielder turned makeshift striker was a bit-part player for Ajax last term.
This season, Kudus has already racked up seven goals and one assist in just 11 games, including goals against both Rangers and Liverpool.
Everton were very keen before the transfer deadline and Voetbal International reported that Kudus missed training to try and force a move to Goodison Park.
Everton did offer £15million but, according to The Independent, Ajax rejected that because they think they can get much more for Kudus in the not-too-distant future.
Kudus has been in superb form ever since and it’s starting to feel that Everton have missed their chance to secure the Ghanaian international.
The 22-year-old looks to be a star in the making and it’s no surprise that teams with European football like West Ham and Dortmund are now in the mix.
Whether they can convince Kudus or Ajax to strike a deal remains to be seen though, and you can question whether West Ham really need Kudus having only recently spent huge cash on Scamacca and Paqueta in the two positions you would expect Kudus to play.
