Pundit’s Take: West Ham Engaging in Agent Talks Over Mohammed Kudus Exit, Potential Player Swap Possible
Graham Potter Faces Key Decision on Mohammed Kudus’ Future at West Ham This Summer.
The Ghanaian international has endured a difficult season, struggling to replicate the impressive form of his debut campaign at the London Stadium.
His underwhelming performances have significantly diminished any transfer interest in him, which is a setback for both the player and the club.
However, an exit from East London remains a possibility, as manager Graham Potter is expected to assess his squad during the international break and make key decisions ahead of the summer transfer window.
Potter to Evaluate Kudus’ Future
While some players have excelled in East London this season—most notably Jarrod Bowen—Mohammed Kudus has failed to reach the necessary performance levels to justify praise or attract interest from other clubs.
His goal contributions in the Premier League have dropped to just four, a disappointing return by his usual standards.
Given his current form, former Brentford and Leicester City manager Martin Allen believes Potter may be open to offloading the Ghanaian in the upcoming transfer window.
Speaking to West Ham Zone, Allen said:
“The manager, alongside his coaching staff and analysts, will compile reports during the international break.
Numerous discussions will also take place with agents as they plan for summer transfers.
“With Kudus, they will examine his appearances, goals, and assists. Right now, his numbers are not impressive, so they will likely look to upgrade.
“If he isn’t contributing goals or assists, then he isn’t effective, and the club must consider trading to bring in players who can boost the team’s attacking output.”
Kudus Set for Summer Departure?
With Lucas Paquetá facing his own uncertainties, West Ham could be in for a significant squad overhaul under Potter this summer.
Given Kudus’ struggles, there may not be much opposition from fans if the club decides to move him on after just two seasons in the Premier League.
His displays have consistently been overshadowed by Bowen and even Tomas Soucek, making it difficult to justify his place in the squad.
If Potter reviews Kudus’ performances and statistical output, the conclusion at the London Stadium seems inevitable—an exit may be the best course of action for all parties involved.
