Summer exodus on the cards
According to theDaily Mail, Arsenal are interested in Kudus, whose versatility is viewed as a ‘particularly attractive’ quality to the club’s recruitment staff. The Ghanian has predominantly operated as a centre-forward or a right-winger for the Dutch outfit, but he’s been known to play as an attacking midfield and even eight at times.
The ɾєρօɾτ states that Kudus is also of interest to Brighton, but his desire to continue playing in the Champions League and fight for the Premier League title could emerge as a deciding factor. While Arsenal may seem well-positioned to secure his signature, theDaily Mailadd that the club need to sell some players before any more additions can be made.
In fact, it’s said that Edu has made six stars available for transfer this summer; Kieran Tierney; Cedric Soares; Nicolas Pepe; Albert Lokonga; Nuno Tavares; Rob Holding. According to theCIES Football Observatory, the six aforementioned players are worth a combined £68.2million which could be more than enough to acquire Kudus
