West Ham United, in true West Ham United fashion, have waited until the very last moments of the transfer window to spend their money.
Clubs know they have it, especially after completing the sale of Declan Rice, and the Hammers have manoeuvred the market in strange fashion, only to pounce now.
The man they are seriously going after now, according to Santi Aouna, is Mohammed Kudus, and West Ham’s technical director, Tim Steidten, is taking matters into his own hands.
That’s because the German is ‘going to Amsterdam today’ to meet with Ajax to try and sign the Ghana international.
The aim of this rendezvous is for the two clubs to ‘find an agreement’ that would take the player from the Eredivisie to West Ham.
Whether they achieve it remains to be seen, but the Hammers are clearly accelerating on the transfer market and ready to splash the cash, especially in hope of replacing Gianluca Scamacca, who was sold to Atalanta.
Kudus, for the record, already has one goal in one appearance for Ajax this season.
