Arsenal renews interest in West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus ahead of potential January move

Arsenal are reportedly rekindling their pursuit of West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus as they look to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window.

After a less-than-ideal start to the Premier League season, the Gunners are exploring options to reinforce their attacking lineup.

According to The Mirror, Arsenal had initially targeted Kudus last summer but were outbid by West Ham, who secured the Ghanaian international from Ajax for £40 million.

A potential transfer could be further facilitated by speculation around Leandro Trossard's future, with a possible move to Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League on the horizon.

Trossard has faced criticism from fans due to his recent performances, particularly in a lackluster showing against Newcastle, where he struggled to make an impact.

Without a goal since September, Trossard’s departure could open up a spot that Arsenal see Kudus as an ideal candidate to fill.

Kudus remains a high-value target for Arsenal due to his technical ability, adaptability, and playmaking potential.

Despite his current suspension following a red card in West Ham’s recent loss to Tottenham, his skillset continues to impress, and his presence at Arsenal’s recent Champions League victory over PSG has fueled rumors of a potential transfer.

As the January window approaches, Arsenal fans will be eager to see if Kudus makes the move to the Emirates, potentially offering a much-needed boost to their offensive lineup.
