Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus is set to retain the number 20 jersey for Ajax throughout the upcoming 2023/24 season, as the Dutch club recently disclosed its player jersey assignments during an engaging open-day event involving fans.

This announcement arrives amid ongoing negotiations with  English  Premier League side  Brighton which has currently stalled

At 23 years old, the midfielder has emerged as a focal point of fervent transfer discussions, attracting keen interest from several prominent European clubs, notably those within the Premier League.

Notably, Brighton and Hove Albion are reportedly on the verge of securing a deal with Ajax for Kudus' transfer.

Yet, the finer details regarding personal terms between the player and the English club remain concealed.

Ajax, in response, has established a definitive deadline for the conclusion of any potential transfer negotiations involving Kudus.

The club has designated Wednesday as the cutoff point, mandating interested parties to arrive at a consensus by then.

With the player's valuation estimated at around €40 million, Ajax has communicated its intention to terminate negotiations if the deadline elapses without an agreement, unless a more substantial offer emerges.
