The Arsenal transfer window is still open.
The Gunners may have already spent close to £200 million on new players, but it appears that they still have one move left in them.
Mohammed Kudus is still a subject of intense interest, and now, according to Football Transfers, the player himself is amenable to the transfer.
Both Chelsea and Arsenal are interested in signing the Ghanaian, but Kudus would much rather sign with Arsenal, claims this source.
In all honesty, it is not difficult to comprehend why Kudus would prefer to sign with the Gunners than the Blues.
When you’re a young player who can play many roles, Arsenal’s project is among the most fascinating in Europe.
Certainly fits the bill is the £40 million man. Kudus is ideal for Mikel Arteta’s system since he can play everywhere across the attack and in the middle.
He also complements Arsenal’s quick-paced attacking approach. According to The Speeds Database, Kudus is one of the faster players in Europe. He has a better peak speed than Cody Gakpo, who is a well-known strong player.
Unfortunately for Arsenal, this transaction won’t be simple to complete.
The midfielder would choose to transfer to the Emirates over Stamford Bridge if given the choice between these two teams, even though Chelsea are reportedly further along in negotiations with Ajax on this deal.
Sadly, this has happened previously. Mykhaylo Mudryk was open about his desire to sign with Arsenal in January, but he was forced to move to west London rather than north London when Chelsea made a sizable bid to Shakhtar Donetsk.
Kudus is unquestionably a player to keep an eye on, that much is obvious.
