and Arsenal are considering a move for Mohammed Kudus after reluctantly decided to offload the attacking midfielder.
The playmaker, who starred for Ghana at the 2022 in , is contracted to the Dutch giants until 2025.
However, he recently rejected the offer of an extension and has intimated he wants to leave Amsterdam.
Kudus has netted 22 goals in 48 matches for club and country this term, and he worked under Erik ten Hag during his time in Holland.
Ajax will not allow Kudus to run his contract down and the club is run on making profit from players signed during the early stages of their career.
The therefore claim Kudus is available for as little as £40m this summer and the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle are interested in his services.
Though that fee could be increased if there’s firm, widespread interest – £40m is a low fee for a player of Kudus’ ability.
Mikel Arteta is seeking another midfielder, with Granit Xhaka set to depart.
Newcastle attempted to sign James Maddison in January and are likely to attempt again this summer, regardless of whether Leicester are relegated or not.
Manchester United are well stocked in attacking midfield but Kudus has played as a false nine, which is an area that Ten Hag is keen to strengthen.
