Arsenal keen on signing £83M-rated Premier League star Liverpool want as Mohamed Salah replacement - Reports
Arsenal are keen on signing West Ham United's Mohammed Kudus in the 2025 summer transfer window, as per Fichajes.net. Kudus is valued at £83 million by his club, and he has been closely monitored by Liverpool as well. The Reds are keen on bringing him on board as Mohamed Salah's replacement.
There is a lot of uncertainty about Salah's future at Liverpool given that his contract comes to an end in the summer of 2025. Kudus, however, has been scouted by Arsenal for a long time, and his presence will give them a lot of firepower in the final third. The former Ajax player has established himself well at West Ham.
Having arrived in London from Amsterdam in the summer transfer window of 2023, Kudus has scored 16 goals and provided seven assists in 55 appearances for the Hammers so far. Arsenal are keen on adding him to their ranks as manager Mikel Arteta wants to bolster his firepower at the top.
Kudus has scored two goals in the eight matches he has played in the Premier League this season. His runs on the right wing make him a dangerous proposition for all fullbacks. The Ghana international is under contract at West Ham till 2028, with an option to extend further.
Mohammed Kudus will potentially compete with Bukayo Saka at Arsenal
If he moves clubs in London, Mohammed Kudus will potentially compete with England international Bukayo Saka at Arsenal. The latter is one of the best players in the country at the moment and plays as a right-winger, a position Kudus prefers as well. Saka has scored three goals in the 10 matches he has played for the Gunners in the Premier League this season and bagged an awe-inspiring seven assists.
Arsenal, meanwhile, bounced back from two consecutive losses with a 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday, November 10. It allowed the north London outfit to make it back to the top four on the Premier League table. They will hope to build on it when they return from the international break with a tricky game against fifth-placed Nottingham Forest on November 23.
