West Ham United faces a significant challenge in keeping Mohammed Kudus, as Al Ittihad from the Saudi Pro League has shown interest in signing the forward this summer.
Kudus, who joined West Ham from Ajax a year ago, had a successful debut season at the London Stadium, scoring 14 goals. His impressive performance has garnered attention from various clubs. West Ham, now led by new manager Julen Lopetegui, is keen on retaining the 23-year-old Ghanaian international.
However, ESPN reports that Al Ittihad, renowned for its star-studded lineup featuring Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté, is determined to acquire Kudus. Additionally, there is reported interest from multiple Premier League clubs and teams across Europe.
If the transfer materializes, Kudus stands to earn a significant salary of $300,000 per week in Saudi Arabia.
Recently, Kudus featured prominently for Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, helping the Black Stars secure victories against Mali (2-1) and Central African Republic (4-3).
