Mohammed Kudus and West Ham have reached a personal agreement ahead of a potential move to the London Stadium this summer.
According to Patrick Berger of Sport 1, West Ham is getting close to acquiring Mohammed Kudus from Ajax during the summer transfer window.
Since Manchester City moved to sign Lucas Paqueta from the Hammers, the East London club has been vying for the services of the 23-year-old Ajax star.
Although David Moyes will be aiming to keep the Brazilian at the London Stadium, he will need to make a significant splash in the transfer market if the 25-year-old leaves.
And it appears that Moyes is set to carry out his plan.
Apparently, Mohammed Kudus and West Ham have reached a personal agreement.
The Ghanaian international might be poised to switch from Holland to England during the summer transfer window.
Kudus has reportedly agreed to transfer from Ajax to the Hammers this summer, according to dependable Sport 1 journalist Patrick Berger.
However, West Ham and Ajax are currently negotiating a price:
🚨 EXCL. West Ham reached agreement on personal terms now with Mohammed Kudus (23/🇬🇭) after deal with Brighton failed. Tim Steidten is in the Netherlands pushing on that deal. Clubs are in direct talks too. #WUFC preparing a £35m bid to Ajax Amsterdam. @SPORT1

In 42 games for Ajax last season, he scored an amazing 18 goals and dished out seven assists (Transfermarkt).
What a fantastic addition he will be to the Hammers. The Ghanaian is capable of playing in the centre, on either wing, or even in the middle as a backup striker.
Kudus is very dynamic and explosive with boundless pace, power, and athleticism. He has everything our club has been lacking for the past few years.
I will be thrilled if the Ajax great moves to the London Stadium this summer, even though he isn’t the same player as Paqueta.
There is really no question that if Mohammed Kudus joins us, West Ham will be a far better squad both this season and in the future.
