Saudi giants chase Mohammed Kudus
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus' future at West Ham United remains in doubt in the summer transfer window following interest from the Saudi Investment Fund.
The SIF owns four top clubs in the Saudi Pro League, including Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr FC and Karim Benzema's Al-Ittihad. The other clubs owned by the Saudi government are Al-Ahli SC and Champions Al-Hilal.
Kudus was earlier reported to be on the radar of Al-Ittihad but the West Ham United star stated he wants to continue his career with the Hammers in a recent interview.
