Liverpool transfer target now drops agents as comments will put Hughes on red alert

Posted by

Mohammed Kudus may have attracted a fresh wave of wandering eyes after his decision to axe his former agents.

Fabrizio Romano now reports on X (formerly Twitter) that the Ghanaian will take on his family and legal team as his new representatives.

This follows the expiration of the West Ham United footballer’s £85m release clause.

It remains unclear what asking price the Hammers will now set to deter suitors for the Liverpool-linked (Echo) 23-year-old.

Comments to intrigue Liverpool

It surely won’t have escaped the notice of decision-makers at the AXA training centre that Kudus is a big fan of now Reds coach Johnny Heitinga.

The 40-year-old worked with Kudus at both West Ham and Ajax and was labelled ‘the best coach I had at Ajax’.

I felt very good under Heitinga. He was the best coach I had at Ajax…Apart from the training aspect, I also hold him in high regard in terms of standards and values. Personally, I would have liked to have worked with him longer,” the Premier League attacker told Voetbal Primeur.

“He is a top trainer and I really appreciated his efforts to make the players better at the time. When he took over for the rest of the season, he immediately showed impact. Things got better.”

Is the former Everton man’s presence at Anfield something that would prove conducive to luring the No.14 to L4?

Perhaps not alone, though the presence of former Eredivisie coach Arne Slot may prove attractive given the Ghana international was present in Holland at the time to witness Feyenoord’s remarkable title win.

All small factors that could help Liverpool in their bid to land Kudus’ signature this summer. If they want it, that is.

    1. Why are we not buying – we still need a top notch holding midfielder and a left fullback…no quality #6 – no Premiership – that’s what I believe and know! And so does Slot! And if they really had any sense they would immediately buy Olmo. YNWA.

  1. Straws. Clutching. At. Kudus has already spoken of his hopes for the new season at West Ham. Referring to him constantly as ‘Liverpool target’ is disrespectful and really, really tedious. The tapping up of Bowen didn’t work, it won’t with Kudus either. Please go try it with somebody else.

  2. Cannot understand why we have not bought yet. Is it because we are waiting to see if certain players are going to renew their contracts. We are leaving it a bit late while other teams seem to be getting ahead of us. We need a central defender , a left back, a good holding midfielder and a right sided attacker. What are we waiting for?
