Arsenal is interested in a £85m West Ham player, but they need to compete with Liverpool for the transfer.

Mikel Arteta's team has been making headlines recently, with reports linking them to a potential signing of talented player Mohammed Kudus from West Ham. It is said that Arsenal will have to face competition from Liverpool in order to secure Kudus' signature, as both teams are showing keen interest in the 24-year-old. Kudus has been a standout player for West Ham, scoring 16 goals and providing 7 assists in 55 games since joining the club from Ajax for a whopping £38m deal in 2023.

The Ghanaian international, who can play as a right winger or attacking midfielder, is now reportedly open to leaving West Ham, especially if he is given the opportunity to play in the Champions League. According to the Daily Mail, Kudus has a release clause of £85m in his current contract which will expire in June 2028, and West Ham are not willing to budge from that valuation. However, it is not certain that Kudus will leave the London Stadium next summer, as he is currently settled and enjoying his time at West Ham.

Despite this, West Ham is preparing for offers from top clubs, with Arsenal and Liverpool leading the race for Kudus at the moment. Kudus' teammate Michail Antonio had nothing but praise for the young player, calling him a star and highlighting his incredible qualities as a player. Antonio also expressed his excitement for Kudus' return to the starting lineup, as he has been serving a suspension for violent conduct in a recent match against Tottenham. Kudus is expected to be back in action for West Ham's game against Leicester City on December 3, after missing the next two games against Newcastle United and Arsenal.

It is clear that Kudus is a highly sought-after player, and it remains to be seen whether he will make a move to Arsenal or Liverpool in the near future. With his impressive skills on the field and his potential for growth, he would be a valuable addition to any team. As for now, West Ham will have to wait and see how the transfer race for Kudus unfolds, while also enjoying his contributions to their team. Only time will tell what the future holds for this talented player.
