Ghanaian star Mohammed Kudus has reportedly made it clear that he will reject any move to the Saudi Pro League this summer, despite persistent speculation about his future at West Ham United, according to Football Insider.

Speaking on the Inside Track podcast, Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke revealed that Kudus has no interest in leaving Europe, especially at this stage of his career.

The 24-year-old believes he still has much to offer at the highest level, particularly in the UEFA Champions League or other major European competitions.

Kudus, who is under contract at the London Stadium until 2028, has a £75 million release clause, though sources suggest West Ham could accept a lower fee.

Former West Ham scout Mick Brown stated in May that the Hammers are open to selling the Ghana international if a suitable offer is made, as they don’t expect any club to meet the full clause.

Incoming West Ham manager Graham Potter is reportedly willing to sanction the sale of Kudus to free up funds for squad rebuilding, and to help meet financial fair play obligations.

Top Premier League sides, including Liverpool and Arsenal, are monitoring the situation closely. Both clubs are understood to be working behind the scenes on potential deals and hope to land Kudus for less than his release clause.

With Kudus determined to stay in Europe and West Ham open to negotiation, a high-profile Premier League transfer looks increasingly likely in the coming weeks.
