Liverpool supposedly could look to sign western ham United star Mohammed Kudus this summer, according to transfer well-informed person Dean Jones.
After moving to the London Stadium from Ajax Amsterdam last summer, the 23-year-old has shown promising performances in the first division this season, scoring seven goals and registering five assists in 31 league games.
Thus, it seems that impressed by the Ghanaian's striking performances with the Hammers, Liverpool have expressed their interest in signing him.
speaking in GiveMeSport, jones has reported that Kudus may have a release clause in his current contract and if the amount of the clause is reasonable then Liverpool could look to sign the African if Mohamed Salah leaves.
Jones said:
“It is very difficult to get a clear idea of the terms of any termination clause in the contract as nothing is really confirmed by anyone involved. The basics of the story seem concrete, so my hunch is to believe there is a trigger figure involved at some point.
“It will be interesting to find out what his level is and when he kicks in. If he is reasonable, then you can imagine he could open himself up as a potential target for Liverpool, if Salah ends up leaving after all.”
Kudus to Liverpool
It was previously reported that the Merseyside club could cash in on Salah this summer if it receives lucrative offers from Saudi clubs. But David Ornstein has denied the news and said the Egyptian will remain at Anfield next season.
So while Liverpool may not need to sign a new right winger this summer, well-run clubs always think ahead. So, considering Salah will turn 32 this year, the Reds could look to sign Kudus to succeed the Egyptian in the future.
Kudus is a versatile player as he can play anywhere on the frontline and can also be deployed in the engine room. He is technically sound, can play passes between the lines, has the efficiency to dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, has a good eye for scoring goals from distance and also works hard out of possession.
So the West Ham star could be a shrewd signing for Liverpool if they buy him. However, it will be interesting to see if the Merseyside club ultimately opts to take a concrete approach to signing. him.
