Liverpool and Arsenal they are supposedly interested in signing western ham United forward Mohammed Kudus, according to Spanish media Transfers.
Having moved to the London Stadium from Ajax Amsterdam last year, the Ghana international showed promising performances in the first division last season, contributing 14 goals in 27 starts.
But the 24-year-old has had a slow start this season and was suspended for a few games after receiving a red card against Tottenham Hotspur before returning to action recently.
In 11 Premier League appearances this campaign, Kudus has only scored two goals and recorded just one assist. But, despite his average performances so far this term, he has no shortage of potential suitors.
Transfers He claims Liverpool want to add dynamism to their squad and has flagged the West Ham star as a serious option. However, buying him won't be cheap as the Hammers have put a massive £90million price tag on his head to sell him next month.

Arsenal are also in this race as Mikel Arteta wants to sign a new forward to support Bukayo Saka and Kudus would fit perfectly into the Gunners boss' system. Newcastle UnitedEdit They are also interested in buying him but continue to struggle with FFP issues and cannot afford to spend the reported £90m to sign him.
Kudus usually plays on the flanks at London Stadium, but is also comfortable in attacking midfield and in the centre-forward role if required. He is technically sound, strong, can dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, has a good eye for scoring goals from distance and is also efficient at set pieces.
The African is a proven player in the Premier League, so he would be a smart acquisition for Arsenal or Liverpool if either club buys him. With Mohamed SalahLiverpool's contract expires at the end of this season, and a new striker will be needed to sign for Liverpool if he eventually leaves the club.
It will be interesting to see if the North London club or the Merseyside club finally take a concrete approach to moving Kudus away from the London Stadium next year to strengthen the front line.
