Major Twist a Bonus for Sullivan as Saudis Save West Ham from Transfer Woes.
West Ham United's Summer Transfer Window Was Looking Uncertain.
Graham Potter is set to revamp West Ham’s squad this summer, but financial constraints pose a challenge.
The Hammers’ boss urgently needs to inject more energy, youth, and dynamism into his team.
With at least five or six new signings required, the good news is that Potter might now have a way to make it happen.
A significant bid for one of West Ham’s star players could be on the horizon, potentially funding this much-needed overhaul.
Mohammed Kudus Poised for West Ham Exit
West Ham may have no choice but to sell Mohammed Kudus this summer to secure the reinforcements they need.
The former Ajax winger has struggled this season, managing just three goals and two assists in 27 appearances (Transfermarkt).
Although Potter has praised Kudus as an “unbelievable talent,” his game-changing ability has been largely absent this campaign.
Following an impressive 2023/24 season, Kudus has failed to meet expectations.
Notably, he has yet to score a winning goal for the club, which speaks volumes about his overall impact.
Saudi Interest Could Boost West Ham’s Transfer Budget
Al-Nassr are reportedly preparing an £84 million bid for Kudus this summer, according to Ben Jacobs (via Give Me Sport).
This potential transfer is great news for West Ham, as club owner David Sullivan could then allocate significant funds for a squad rebuild.
While Kudus has undeniable talent, his inconsistency has been a major issue.
If Al-Nassr follows through with their offer, West Ham’s transfer window could become incredibly exciting, unlocking numerous possibilities for new signings.
Additionally, if the 24-year-old decides to move to Saudi Arabia, it could suggest that he lacks the mentality required to thrive at the highest level of European football.
