West Ham have bid rejected for ‘one of the most promising players in the world’ but ‘talks continue’
West Ham have been in talks with Ajax to sign Mohammed Kudus but it looks like the club will now struggle to sign him.
According to 90min, West Ham made a second offer to the Dutch club for the attacking Ghanian international.
Sadly for David Moyes and West Ham, this second bid has been rejected. Apparently, technical director Tim Steidten went to Amsterdam to handle negotiations in person.
West Ham had their revised offer turned down. Apparently, Ajax want around £42.5million and ‘talks will continue’ between the two parties.
West Ham have second bid rejected for Kudus
It will be very interest to see if the Hammers try and make another bid for the attacking player this summer and whether it is close enough to Ajax’s valuation of Kudus.
Kudus is an outstanding talent who has been deemed ‘one of the most promising players in the world‘. He would be a great coup for West Ham.
The 23 year-old has a very high ceiling and what is great about the player is the fact that he is very versatile as well. Kudus can play as an attacking midfielder, centre-forward and a right-winger.
It is great to see West Ham trying to sign these exciting attacking prospects and they definitely need to sign players of this calibre as they are also battling in Europe.
He has scored 24 goals and picked up 12 assists for Ajax and this season, he has also managed one goal and one assist in two games.
West Ham will definitely need some more attacking signings this summer and it would definitely be a great coup to sign Kudus.

£35M STAR ON PLANE WITH STEIDTEN AS WEST HAM TRANSFER IMMINENT
West Ham United are on the verge of signing Stuttgart defender Konstantinos Mavropanos after being spotted with Tim Steidten.
Konstantinos Mavropanos is on the verge of being confirmed as a West Ham United player as he nears a £35million move.
That is according to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, who claims that Mavropanos is already a new player of West Ham.
Plettenberg claims that a medical was completed on Monday night and the deal is now completely in place.
Plettenberg even attached a photo of Mavropanos on a plane alongside agent Konstantinos Farras and West Ham technical director Tim Steidten.
The same photo emerged of Edson Alvarez before his move from Ajax to West Ham earlier this month with Steitdten snapped on both occasions.
Plettenberg adds that the deal will be worth a total of around £21million, made up of a fixed €20million (£17million) plus €5million (£4.2million) in add-ons.
Mavropanos is being given a five-year contract with West Ham until the summer of 2028 as he nears a return to London.
West Ham move on from Harry Maguire with Konstantinos Mavropanos deal
David Moyes has wanted to add a new centre back this summer and it looked like Harry Maguire was the top target.
A deal was in place for the Manchester United defender but that move broke down last week.
West Ham have wasted little time and now have a deal in place for a new centre back in Mavropanos.
The Greek international has excelled with Stuttgart, first in two seasons on loan and then in one season as a permanent player.
Mavropanos is no doubt desperate to seize this new Premier League chance having previously been with Arsenal.
The 25-year-old joined Arsenal from PAS Giannina back in January 2018 but made just seven Premier League appearances.
Mavopranos has plenty to prove and will be looking to shine upon his return to London with West Ham.
