Liverpool’s pursuit of West Ham United’s star Mohammed Kudus has gained momentum, presenting a potential boost to their attacking options. With Mohamed Salah’s contract set to expire at the end of next season, the Reds are proactively seeking a long-term replacement.

Under the guidance of new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool is looking to strengthen their squad, and Kudus has emerged as a prime target. Reports from Football Insider suggest that the Ghanaian winger is more likely to depart West Ham this summer compared to his teammate Lucas Paqueta.

Previously, Paqueta was anticipated to leave the Hammers, with Manchester City showing interest. However, allegations of betting violations against the Brazilian have cooled City’s enthusiasm, making Kudus a more viable option for transfer.

After joining West Ham from Ajax, Kudus had an impressive debut season in the Premier League. He showcased his versatility by excelling in various attacking roles under David Moyes, scoring eight goals and providing six assists. His performances have attracted the attention of several top-flight clubs preparing for the next season.

Liverpool’s proactive approach in the transfer market reflects their commitment to maintaining a competitive edge. Should they succeed in signing Kudus, it could mark a significant step in ensuring the club’s attacking prowess remains formidable in the seasons to come.
