Arsenal must sign West Ham star to boost their Premier League title hopes

Arsenal simply have to go all out to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United.

Mikel Arteta has overseen real progress over the past five years, but he needs something extra in order to get his side over the line in the race for the Premier League title.

And Mohammed Kudus might just be the perfect man for the job.

The West Ham star is a sensational talent, and he has an £85 million release clause inserted into his current deal at the London Stadium (The Athletic).

The clause doesn’t become active until the summer, so the Gunners may have to wait until then or test the Hammers’ resolve in January with a blockbuster bid.

Arsenal are crying out for someone like Kudus right now, and not just because he would provide proper competition and cover for Bukayo Saka.

More so because his explosiveness and unpredictability would add a certain kind of ‘bang bang’ to the Arsenal set-up.

Arsenal will win the Premier League title by signing Kudus

The Ghanaian has racked up an impressive 16 goals and eight assists in 57 games for the Hammers.

Kudus is a fantastic technician, possesses explosive pace and is incredibly strong.

He’s actually very similar to Saka in the way that he shields the ball from his opponents.

The 24-year-old still has plenty of years left ahead of him to improve, and Arteta would be the best man to take him to another level.

The former Ajax star is at his best when playing on the right wing, but he can play wide on the left, in the number 10 role or even through the middle as an auxiliary striker if required.

Kudus possesses tremendous drive and determination, and he always tries to make things happen for his team.

The Ghana international takes on responsibility when he’s required to do so, and £85m would end up looking like a bargain deal for Arsenal.
