Arsenal has now set their sights on a new target in the upcoming transfer window. The Gunners are looking to make a deal with West Ham star Mohammed Kudus. This interest developed after Leandro Trossard was linked to making a move to Saudi.
Kudus has been under Arsenal’s radar for a very long time. They have tracked the youngster’s footsteps ever since he made his move with West Ham United from Ajax. The Hammers acquire the winger in a 40 million euro deal.
This interest in the youngster has recently spiked as Arsenal’s Trossard will most likely accept his move to the Saudi league. The Saudi Arabian giant Al Ittihad made a 40 million offer to the Belgian star. This transfer will be initially on loan and turn into a permanent one next summer.
The Belgian has played 39 capped games for his country across all tournaments. He has been clinical for the Gunners as he has scored 20 goals in eighty appearances for the club. His contract expires in 18 months and a shift to a new league is most likely.
There were chances of Trossard parting ways with Arsenal in the previous summer transfer. The winger declined the proposal in the transfer window when Al Ittihad made the same 40 million offer for transfer on loan.
The Gunners have already started to look for replacements for their Belgian winger. They are ready to splurge big money on West Ham star Mohammed Kudus. This youngster will play a role in filling Trossard’s role if the Belgian decides to leave the club.

Mohamed Kudus has been one of the most promising players for West Ham. The Hammers acquired the youngster from Ajax for a price tag of 40 million euros.
