West Ham United may need to reconsider their plans to sell winger Mohammed Kudus in the January transfer window.
A top London Stadium source previously revealed to Claret and Hugh that the Ghanaian winger would be available for transfer if a buying club matched West Ham’s £100 million valuation.
However, the sudden injury to captain Jarrod Bowen has forced the club to reassess, as Kudus is the natural replacement on the right wing.
This unexpected setback is likely to disrupt West Ham’s transfer strategy, as the club was depending on player sales to raise funds before making new signings.
Kudus has been attracting interest from Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal, all of whom are reportedly keen on the talented former Ajax player.
The Ghanaian was the lone bright spot in West Ham’s 5-0 defeat to Liverpool at the London Stadium, starting in Bowen’s position on the right wing.
With Bowen expected to be sidelined for 6–8 weeks—missing the entirety of the January window—the Hammers are unlikely to offload Kudus. The winger is seen as the only player capable of filling in at a standard close to Bowen’s, whose importance to the team this season cannot be overstated
