Kudus emerges on the radar of Newcastle United

Ghana international, Mohammed Kudus has emerged as a top target for English Premier League side, Newcastle United as they seek to offload Anthony Gordon to Liverpool.

According to iNews, a British national newspaper published in London by Daily Mail, Newcastle United could look to West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen or Kudus if they were to lose Gordon.

Bowen is not a new name on the Magpies’ radar this summer, with the 27-year-old named as a top target in July. However, Geordie Boot Boys have been told that a move by Bowen to Newcastle is a non-starter.

Bowen would be a good addition, but  Kudus would be even better.

The Ghana star joined West Ham from Ajax last summer, and took the Premier League by storm during his debut year. He was absolutely incredible for the Hammers, scoring 14 goals and providing six assists in all competitions.

Toon fans saw first-hand how good Kudus is, with the 24-year-old shining during the 4-3 thriller between Newcastle and West Ham in March.

Kudus scored and got an assist for West Ham that day, with David Moyes describing him as ‘excellent‘. The attacker made a serious impression at St James’ Park, although headlines were hogged by his altercation with a ball boy and Newcastle’s remarkable comeback.

But Kudus really was incredible that day, and showed exactly why the Magpies made a mistake not signing him when they had the chance.

That chance could come back around if Gordon leaves, but it will come at a cost. West Ham will want to make a profit after signing him for £38 million in 2023, while his £85 million release clause is not active again until next summer.— geordiebootboys.com
