Arsenal target Ajax’s £40million winger

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had previously hinted that the club would make some new signings after they splashed millions on Declan Rice from West Ham this summer.

A new report has now linked Arsenal, who would be playing in the Champions League next season, with moves for Ajax’s winger Muhammed Kudus.

A report via Daily Mail revealed Kudus will cost the Gunners around £40million.

So far, Arsenal have spent £200million to sign new players this summer.

They have signed Rice, Kai Havertz from Chelsea and Jurrien Timber from Ajax.

To be able to seal moves for new players, Arsenal sporting director Edu will have to work on their outgoing players with Kieran Tierney, Cedric Soares, Nicolas Pepe, Albert Lokonga, Nuno Tavares and Rob Holding among those attracting interest from other clubs.

If they can sell these players, the Gunners will have the financial resources to fund the signing of new players like Kudus.

The 22-year-old Ghanaian is a versatile player and can play in a conventional central midfield role, in a move-advanced position or even on the right wing.

Should they sign him, he would create competition for Saka, who suffered a burnout towards the end of the last season.
