According to Fichajes, Newcastle United have joined Arsenal and Liverpool in the hunt for the midfielder's signature.
Kudus recently returned from a long suspension and has been a key figure for the Hammers, who had a poor start to the campaign. The 24-year-old has already netted two goals this season and delivered the match-winning assist in the game against Wolves last week.
The Black Stars player joined West Ham United in the summer of 2023 from Ajax and ended his first season with 14 goals and six assists, per Transfermarkt.
Why the three teams want Kudus
Arsenal want the Ghanaian to provide a creative spark as well as options in attack for the title chasers. The Gunners have not been in vintage form this season, relying mostly on set pieces to win games. However, Kudus' ability to unlock defences could be a plus for Mikel Arteta's men.
Liverpool have identified the versatile playmaker as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose current deal at the Merseyside club expires in June. Although there are contract talks, Kudus remains a target to provide Liverpool with extra threat.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United, the latest to join the race for the Ghanaian, wants Kudus for similar reasons. But the Magpies would have to adjust their finances to meet the £90 million valuation
