Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United during the summer transfer window.
According to Football Transfers, Liverpool might gain an advantage in their pursuit of the Ghanaian attacker, as West Ham is willing to lower their asking price.
Initially valued at £85 million, West Ham could be open to selling Kudus for less due to the complications surrounding Lucas Paqueta.
The Brazilian was expected to be sold for a significant sum this summer, but he faces a potential lengthy ban for involvement in illegal betting.
As a result, West Ham may be more flexible in negotiating Kudus’ price. The 23-year-old attacker could be an excellent long-term acquisition for Liverpool, given his versatility across the front three and his ability to contribute goals and assists.
Kudus has scored 14 goals and provided six assists in all competitions this season and possesses the potential to become a top player for Liverpool.
Kudus could serve as a replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires next season.
Liverpool will need to strengthen their squad to compete with top clubs like Arsenal and Manchester City, and signing a promising young talent like Kudus could be a wise move.
He has the quality to excel at the highest level and could make a significant impact at Liverpool if the transfer goes through.
Joining Liverpool would offer Kudus the chance to compete for major trophies, an opportunity he is likely to find appealing.
