Arsenal are considering a move for Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus, but they first need to sell some players after their £200m spending spree. Kudus’ versatility and impressive performances have caught the attention of the Gunners.
Arsenal have already made significant additions to their squad for the upcoming season, including signings like Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber. However, their sporting director Edu is now prioritizing offloading players to balance the team.
Mohammed Kudus Earning Interest from Arsenal
Mohammed Kudus, a 22-year-old midfielder playing for Ajax, has attracted the attention of Arsenal with his performances in the Eredivisie. The Gunners are considering a potential £40m move for the versatile player, who can play in various positions in the midfield and attack.
During his time with Ajax, Kudus has scored 23 goals and provided 11 assists in 84 games. His ability to play as a central midfielder, in an advanced position, or even on the right wing makes him an attractive target for Arsenal’s recruitment staff.

Brighton are also monitoring Kudus’ situation, but the allure of playing in the Champions League and being part of a team challenging for the Premier League title could give Arsenal an advantage in securing the player’s signature.
Arsenal Identifying Replacements for Head of Medicine
In other news, Arsenal are in the process of identifying replacements for their head of medicine, Gary O’Driscoll, who is set to join Manchester United. The club is considering experienced candidates like Mark Gillett, the Premier League’s chief medical officer.
Injuries to key players like Gabriel Jesus and William Saliba derailed Arsenal’s title hopes last term and the Gunners will be eager to avoid a repeat of the same in the current campaign.
In terms of transfers though, it makes sense that Arsenal will now be focused on outgoings before thinking about adding more players to the current squad, given the current spend already as it stands.
Arsenal will take on MLS All-stars next in a pre-season fixture on Thursday but all eyes will be on the Gunners and whether or not they will make more signings before the transfer window ends.
Arsenal are keen on signing Mohammed Kudus from Ajax, but they first need to offload some players after their ambitious £200m spending spree. Kudus’ versatility and impressive performances have caught the attention of Arsena, making him an attractive target for the Gunners. It remains to be seen if Arsenal can secure his services and bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
