West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus has endured somewhat of a difficult start to the season.
And yet he remains one of our very best, dangerous and most important players.
Mohammed Kudus joined West Ham from Ajax in the summer of 2023 for around £38 million.
The Ghanian star actually fell out with Julen Lopetegui two weeks ago, and the Hammers head coach hauled him off at half-time during our 1-1 draw with Brentford.
However, the West Ham owners apparently immediately contacted Kudus’s representatives after the incident, in order to explain to them that everything was fine between the player and manager.
It really has been a very eventful last few weeks for Kudus. He’s currently away on international duty with Ghana, but we are only concerned about how he plays for West Ham
It really has been a very eventful last few weeks for Kudus. He’s currently away on international duty with Ghana, but we are only concerned about how he plays for West Ham.
And the Hammers have seemingly just been handed a big blow when it comes to the 24-year-old forward.
Bad news for West Ham as Mohammed Kudus claim comes to light
The Ghanaian has been working hard to rediscover his best form for the Hammers this season.
He finally showed a glimpse of his true self last weekend during our 4-1 win over Ipswich, but he’s still a long way off the levels he reached last term.
Without a Kudus who is firing on all cylinders, it has been very hard for West Ham to be clinical inside the final third.
And now we’ve been dealt a really big blow.
That’s because Barcelona allegedly want to sign the former Ajax star in the summer of 2025, according to numerous reports out in Spain – when his £85 million release clause kicks in.
If Barca do really come in for the Ghanaian superstar, the Hammers will be powerless to prevent him from leaving the club unfortunately.
Keeping Kudus at West Ham an impossible task
The Ghana international is one of the most talented young attackers on the planet.
Everything about him screams a huge move to one of the biggest clubs in world football.
Kudus possesses pace and power in abundance, is a great finisher, and is one of the best dribblers in the world.
The fact that the Hammers actually signed him in the first place is still really hard to believe.
I have no doubts that he’ll go on to win the biggest trophies in the game, but hopefully he gives us one more exceptional season before he leaves.
When his £85 million release clause comes into effect again, it will be impossible for West Ham to keep Mohammed Kudus at the London Stadium in my opinion.
