Kudus moved to West Ham from Ajax Amsterdam last year and had a successful first season in the Premier League.
The Ghanaian player scored 14 goals and made six assists in his first season, helping West Ham finish ninth in the league and reach the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals.
His strong performance has led to rumors of a move, with Saudi Arabia mentioned as a possible new home if a big offer comes in.

Manchester United and Liverpool are also reportedly interested in the 23-year-old to strengthen their attacks for the upcoming season.

Manchester United had considered Kudus before he joined West Ham, as he had worked with their current coach at Ajax. However, they chose another player instead.
Kudus was bought by West Ham for £38 million and has four years left on his contract, so he won’t be sold cheaply. West Ham is known for driving hard bargains, as seen when they sold Declan Rice to Arsenal last year for £105 million.
