Nothing seems to stand in the way of a move from Mohammed Kudus to West Ham United. Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the attacker cum midfielder has passed the medical examination at the London club. Kudus will sign his five-year contract on Sunday.
After the duel in the Europa League between Ludogorets and Ajax (1-4), Kudus already announced in front of the RTL 7 camera that a departure from Amsterdam is very close. “I think so. But we will see what will happen in the next few days. I live from day to day. I am here now and I do my job on the field. Everything that needs to happen off the field will take care of itself.” The transfer troubles certainly did not have a negative influence on his game. Kudus excelled in Bulgaria and made a hat-trick.
“The talks are continuing, but that’s not my job,” Kudus continued. “I just have to focus on training and on the field. My team will take care of the rest. We will see what happens in the coming days.” The attacker was also asked if he will miss Ajax. “I’ll answer that when everything is official.” An official announcement is expected this weekend. Tim Steidten, technical director of West Ham, flew to Bulgaria on Friday to finalize the deal.
The negotiations between Ajax and West Ham were initially somewhat difficult. The team from Amsterdam pointed several offers from the Hammers to the trash, but this week it was announced that an agreement had been reached. According to Romano, it is about 45 million euros including bonuses. In addition, Ajax has also stipulated a resale percentage of reportedly ten. Ajax has resigned itself to the departure of Kudus and has aimed its arrows at Thiago Almada (Atlanta United). Georges Mikautadze (FC Metz) is a cheaper alternative for the Argentinian.
