English football giants Liverpool are reportedly on the verge of triggering an £85 million release clause to secure the services of Ghanaian superstar Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United.
The Reds have reportedly activated contacts to facilitate the completion of the deal and are currently in talks to finalize personal terms with the player.
Liverpool’s interest in Kudus is driven by the incoming Dutch coach Arne Slot, who is a huge admirer of the former Ajax player and sees him as a key addition to bolster the squad.
While the deal is still in its early stages, Liverpool’s move indicates their strong desire to secure Kudus’s services ahead of other interested clubs, including Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Kudus, who joined West Ham from Ajax for £38 million, has been in impressive form in the Premier League and Europe, scoring 13 goals across all competitions for the London club. Liverpool’s pursuit of the 23-year-old Ghanaian international highlights their ambition to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
