Eric Ten Hag, coach of Manchester United, has his sights set on Mohammed Kudus and has informed Ajax that he wants the talisman's services at Old Trafford. Liverpool has now added Kudus to their target after securing Gakpo's services.
According to the most recent gist from Fabrizio Romano via GiveMeSport, Ten Hag wants to strengthen his team with the addition of Mohammed Kudus when the winter window opens at the beginning of the year.
Manchester United anticipates spending about £35 million to persuade Ajax to surrender its key striker.
Liverpool wants to recruit the 22-year-old Kudus, so a transfer to Merseyside may be in the cards.
Since Everton sought Kudus prior to the World Cup, Kudus' agency has already spoken with Dortmund and is rumored to have made considerable progress.
But as of late, Manchester United and Liverpool have both shown a strong desire to acquire Kudus.
Since Kudus has put in a string of standout performances without breaking a sweat, Ten Hag's prior hesitation to pry Kudus away from Ajax owing to injury concerns for Kudus has been put on hold.
The Athletic also reported that Eric ten Hag "is an admirer of Kudus’ skill and dynamism, which has resulted in him working his way onto Manchester United’s radar. The report suggests adding a forward to the squad is a priority for the Red Devils’ chief as the opening of the January transfer window draws closer, while a number of new analysts have been employed to identify potential arrivals. Kudus is eager to leave Ajax during the early stages of 2023 and it is understood that he will not be offloaded for less than £35million, while reliable journalist Dean Jones recently told GiveMeSport that Chelsea are not leading the race to reach an agreement."
