West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus not for sale despite big-money offer

West Ham United is committed to keeping their rising star, Mohammed Kudus, amid strong interest and a hefty offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad.

The 23-year-old Ghanaian midfielder has made a significant impact in his first Premier League season, attracting attention from top clubs. Reports indicate Al Ittihad has tabled a substantial £150 million bid for Kudus.

New West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui considers Kudus crucial to his future plans, and the club has yet to find an appropriate replacement, strengthening their determination to retain him.

After a profitable transfer deal sending Declan Rice to Arsenal, West Ham aims to maximize their returns on Kudus. With his release clause becoming active next summer, the club’s strategy may be influenced.

Although sources suggest Kudus isn’t keen on moving to Saudi Arabia, a highly attractive offer might sway his decision.

For now, West Ham intends to reject all bids for Kudus in this transfer window. Kudus had an outstanding performance last season, scoring eight goals and providing six assists in the Premier League, in addition to netting five goals in the Europa League for the Hammers.

Actress Christiana Awuni has voiced strong dissatisfaction with the treatment of Ghana’s movie industry under President Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration.

Speaking on UTV, she criticized the government for failing to deliver on promises made to filmmakers and highlighted the President’s reluctance to sign a crucial bill affecting their sector.

Awuni urged Ghanaians to consider voting for John Mahama in the 2024 elections, citing the NDC’s support for the movie industry and their stance against financial mismanagement under the current administration.

“The promises made by Nana Addo regarding a film village remain unfulfilled, and our proposed bill was dismissed without due consideration,” Awuni lamented. She pointed out the industry’s consistent neglect during budget allocations and expressed frustration over their efforts being disregarded in parliament.

“We need leadership that takes responsibility seriously,” she added, indirectly referring to Vice President Bawumia, and advocated for a change to prioritize the industry’s needs.

Awuni’s comments highlight the industry’s plea for acknowledgment and support, presenting Mahama and the NDC as potential champions for their cause in the upcoming elections.

Gyan holds the record for the most goals scored by any Ghanaian player, with an impressive 51 goals for the Black Stars. Additionally, he is Africa’s highest goal-scorer in World Cup history, netting a total of six goals across three World Cup appearances.
