BREAKING!!!According to Fabrizio Romano, Mohamed Kudus has decided to join Arsenal this summer.

Kudus Agreement

Mohammed Kudus, an Ajax midfielder, has drawn serious interest from a number of Premier League teams, including West Ham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Brighton. The 23-year-old Ghanaian international joined Ajax at the start of the 2023–24 season, but it looks like his time there is coming to an end as he is set to join the English Premier League.

The Athletic claims that West Ham United and Ajax are about to seal a deal for Kudus. With an additional €3 million (£2.6 million) in possible add-ons, the agreed-upon transfer fee is set at €41.5 million (£35.4 million) to be paid up front. In addition, there is a 10 percent sell-on clause in the agreement. Kudus is anticipated to sign a five-year contract at London Stadium with the Hammers. This move demonstrates West Ham’s desire to bolster their roster with talented and adaptable players in an effort to raise their Premier League standing.

Pepe Exit Talks

The club is trying to offload a number of players before the summer transfer window closes on September 1. Nicolas Pepe is one of several players who joined Arsenal in 2019 for a then-club-record fee of £72 million. Albert, Rob Holding, Kieran Tierney, Folarin Balogun, and Kieran Tierney are among the players Arsenal hopes to sell.

Nuno Tavares, Cedric Soares, and Sambi Lokonga.

Pepe had been approached by Besiktas with a three-year contract offer, but he eventually turned it down. This puts Arsenal in a difficult situation as they try to figure out what will happen to the 28-year-old going forward. Pepe has been spotted training at London Colney despite rumors of a possible contract termination. Some supporters believe he should be given another opportunity at the team. This scenario seems improbable, though.

Journalist Fabrice Hawkins of RMC reports that an undisclosed Saudi Arabian club is currently getting ready to move on Pepe. Arsenal and this club are currently negotiating a transfer fee, which suggests that the Ivorian winger may be leaving. Pepe may be able to restart his career elsewhere and Arsenal may receive financial relief from this proposed move to Saudi Arabia.

Balogun Message

The unexpected possibility of Tottenham Hotspur as a destination for Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun has surfaced. Both fans and experts have vigorously debated this possibility. Speaking on the matter, former midfielder for Arsenal Emmanuel Petit explained why the club might think about making such a move in spite of their rivalry.

In an interview with BettingSites.co.uk, Petit said that although Arsenal would suffer a great deal if Balogun went to Tottenham, it is clear that the Gunners want to get rid of him.

Balogun is at a critical point in his career where consistent playing time is necessary for him to develop into a premier striker, according to Petit. He thinks it’s important to consider the move if Tottenham gives Balogun a chance to further his career.

With further explanation, Petit said, “You have a feeling that Arsenal wants to sell him, but Baldwin going to Tottenham would be a blow for Arsenal.” He is at liberty to rejoin Tottenham and make a comeback to the Premier League. The fans, I believe, are aware of the circumstances. He’s reached a stage in his life where he needs to join a club to help him develop gradually into a potent striker.

He’s demonstrated some excellent qualities with Arsenal, so it makes sense that a lot of teams are vying for his signature. That is the case if he transfers to Tottenham. This is the matter if Arsenal chooses not to retain him. But he was also able to stay at Arsenal. Why should it bother people if he moves to Tottenham if Arsenal doesn’t want to keep him?

This viewpoint emphasizes the practical stance Petit thinks Arsenal should adopt with regard to Balogun’s future.

Although there is a lot of emotion attached to a player possibly joining a direct rival, Balogun’s career and Arsenal’s strategic objectives should come first.
