Mohammed Kudus to ‘hold off’ for Arsenal amidst West Ham Interest?

The possibility of Mohammed Kudus waiting for an offer from a premier club like Arsenal remains a topic of speculation.

However, despite near-misses with Brighton and West Ham United, the player’s future remains uncertain.

Is Kudus playing the waiting game?

Mohammed Kudus’ potential transfer saga has taken an intriguing turn, as football pundit anf former footballer, Adrian Clarke weighs in on the situation. In a recent podcast, Clarke suggested that Kudus could be eyeing a move to a club of Arsenal’s caliber. Clarke’s insight sparks the question: could Kudus be biding his time for a more attractive opportunity?

Clarke stated,

“There has to be a reason why he hasn’t gone to Brighton…if you’re Kudus and you think there’s a chance of going to Arsenal, you’ll hold off…”

While it’s speculative, Kudus has also been linked to top English clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United

It’s clear that Kudus possesses the quality to thrive among the best. It may be plausible that he’s awaiting a concrete offer from a prestigious club before committing to a transfer. His ability and potential could be best utilized on a grand stage, prompting fans to keep a close watch on this unfolding saga.

Arsenal’s Shift in Focus

While Arsenal remain linked to Kudus all throughout the transfer window, the landscape has evolved. The injury to Jurrien Timber has led to a reevaluation of the team’s priorities. Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, emphasized the need to adapt and react to unforeseen changes, including those in the transfer market.

Arteta stated,

“We are always open and we have to always be open to react if something happens, not only with an injury but with the market as well and that’s what we are doing.”

This shift has not only affected Kudus’ potential move but also the club’s approach to new signings, especially in the defensive department.

Arsenal’s transfer activities have faced obstacles, both financial and squad-related. While financial compliance is important, the surplus of players within the squad has created a bottleneck. The departure of several players, while generating funds, has left key positions open and unresolved.

The uncertainty surrounding players like Nicolas Pepe, Nuno Tavares, Folarin Balogun, and Rob Holding has hindered the club’s incoming transfer endeavors.
