Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Recent reports from Fichajes reveal that Manchester City is reportedly gearing up for a major January offer for Mohammed Kudus of West Ham United.
Kudus has repeatedly showcased his skills on the grandest platforms, gaining acknowledgement as one of the most adaptable offensive talents in European football.
His outstanding talents and capability to excel in intense matches have allegedly attracted the interest of Pep Guardiola, as City aims to strengthen their roster for the future, especially considering Kevin De Bruyne’s injury issues.
Nonetheless, discussions may encounter obstacles regarding Kudus’ worth and Manchester City’s transfer preferences.
West Ham signed the Ghanaian international in 2023 for £38 million, and he has since produced exceptional performances, netting 17 goals and contributing 8 assists in 59 appearances.
His adaptability as an attacking midfielder and winger has made him crucial for the Hammers, especially while Jack Grealish faces difficulties with his form this season.
Manchester City reportedly estimated Kudus’ worth at €80 million (£66.3 million), whereas West Ham have established a solid asking price of £100 million. Even though the player’s £85 million release clause will be triggered next summer, acquiring him in January might be difficult.
West Ham are hesitant to part with a key squad player during the season, especially considering Kudus’ increasing impact in the Premier League.
The primary priority for the January window for the City seems to be strengthening the defensive midfield, with Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich and Blackburn Rovers’ Adam Wharton mentioned as possible candidates.
