West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus will not be happy one little bit about the latest transfer news coming out of the London Stadium.
Mohammed Kudus joined West Ham from Ajax in the summer of 2023, in a deal believed to be worth around £38 million.
The 23-year-old Ghanaian has proven to be a sensational addition for the Hammers, and he is very clearly a superstar in the making.
Keeping him at the London Stadium over the next few years will be the most challenging job that new manager Julen Lopetegui faces.
Kudus has actually been linked with an exit from West Ham already, but his £85 million release clause does not come into effect until the summer of 2025.
So our ability to keep hold of the former Ajax man will be tested to the limit in 12 month’s time.
This summer though, the Hammers may well have our work cut out, if we are to keep hold of another absolutely brilliant player…
Mohammed Kudus will be fuming as West Ham could sell £13m star
Lopetegui has numerous new signings lined this summer it seems, but there may well be a few unexpected exits as well.
The Spaniard has to raise funds in order to add to his fairly meagre £90 million summer budget.
However, Kudus will not be pleased one little bit about news of one of the players being linked with a summer exit.
It has been claimed that Emerson Palmieri could leave the London Stadium this summer, with a return to Italy thought to be on the cards for the 29-year-old left-back.
Kudus recently named Emerson in his best Premier League XI, alongside fellow West Ham stars Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen.
The Hammers ace said, “Emerson Palmieri my teammate, I think he’s brilliant in his all-round game, offensive-defensive. He can score bangers as well so yeah I’ll go for him.”
So the Ghana international clearly rates his Hammers teammate very highly indeed.
Emerson was signed from Chelsea in the summer of 2022 for around £13 million.
The 29-year-old has proven to be a brilliant player for the Hammers, and Lopetegui will surely want him to play a key role for us next season.
However, if West Ham are forced into selling him, Mohammed Kudus will not be a happy camper, that’s for sure.
