Mohammed Kudus transfer latest: £38m West Ham agreement, Ajax demand, Arsenal and Chelsea hint
Ajax starlet Mohammed Kudus remains under consideration from both Arsenal and Chelsea this summer.
Mauricio Pochettino wants to sign a creative midfielder capable of playing as a No.10 and on the wing. Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, wants to continue bolstering his squad ahead of a return to the Champions League but is currently focused on selling unwanted players.
So with that being said, football.london has rounded up everything we've heard about the 23-year-old's future below.
Kudus agreement
Mohammed Kudus finally looks set to arrive in the Premier League with West Ham set to win the battle for the 23-year-old's signature.
According to The Athletic, the Hammers are on the verge of an agreement with Ajax for Kudus with a €41.5million (£35.4m) fee to paid up front and a further €3million (£2.6m) in add-ons. A 10 per cent sell-on clause will also be included in the five-year contract he is set to sign at London Stadium.

New price tag
Ajax are reportedly seeking more than the £34.5million previously agreed with Brighton. The Dutch giants had agreed a deal in principle with the Seagulls earlier in August, but it now seems they are demanding more.
According to Fabrizio Romano, West Ham's recent proposal for Kudus was higher than Brighton's bid but has been turned down. The journalist has claimed that the figure is not deemed 'enough to sell'.
