Arsenal could beat Chelsea to Mohammed Kudus signing
In our opinion, Arsenal could be able to beat Chelsea to the signing of Mohammed Kudus from Ajax in the summer transfer window.
It seems that if the Gunners paid the transfer fee for the youngster, then they should be able to secure his services.
After all, he reportedly prefers Arsenal to Chelsea.
Arsenal have a young and dynamic team, and Kudus, who was described as “outrageous” by former Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport in September 2022, would fit in nicely at the Gunners.
The Ghanaian can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger.
The 22-year-old made 19 starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Eredivisie for Ajax last season.
The youngster scored 11 goals and gave three assists in those matches
Kudus scored one goal in two UEFA Europa League for Ajax last season
Some would question whether Arsenal need to sign another attacking player this summer.
After all, the Gunners do have a very strong and potent attacking department already.
Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Emile Smith Rowe, Fabio Vieira, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Bukayo Saka, Reiss Nelson and Marquinhos are the main attacking options for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta at the moment.
Gabriel Jesus is the number one striker for the Gunners, who have Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun on their books to play upfront, too.
