Mohammed Kudus to sign £100,000-a-week contract at West Ham United with fee agreed
Mohammed Kudus is set to sign a £100,000-a-week contract to become a West Ham player, according to the Sunday Mirror.
The newspaper reported on page 76 of its print edition on 27 August that the 23-year-old forward will put pen to paper on a five-year deal as he looks to complete his move to East London in the next 48 hours.
It said the Hammers have now agreed to meet Ajax’s asking price for the Ghanaian international, with the deal worth up to £40million including add-ons.
Although it seems as though West Ham are set to pay more than they had originally hoped to sign Kudus, this is a deal that looks like it’s very much worth getting over the line whatever the price.
The forward has been in superb form for Ajax and the Irons will be hoping he can quickly adapt to the Premier League to add something different to their forward options.
They are already full of confidence at the moment in time after the victory over Brighton on Saturday (26 August) took them up to top of the league.
The addition of the Ghanaian is only going to provide them with a further boost, as he looks set to sign a five-year deal on a healthy £100,000-a-week contract.
The winger’s early-season form for the Dutch club proves he is worth that after he’s scored four goals and laid on one assist in his opening three games of the campaign [Transfermarkt].

WHAT HAPPENED? According to reports in The Sun, the Hammers are back in talks over a potential deal for Maguire in the summer and are prepared to pay a little bit more to land their target. The English international has two years left on his deal and is demanding a higher bonus to leave the club instead of seeing out his contract.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The former Leicester City centerback has fallen out of favor at United since the arrival of Erik ten Hag with the Dutchman favouring Raphael Varanea and Lisandro Martinez as his preferred centerback duo. Maguire only started eight games in the Premier League last season and has not featured in any of the opening three games so far.
