English Premier League outfit West Ham United have announced the signing of Ghana international Kudus Mohammed as the club's latest signing in the summer transfer window.
The 23-year-old arrived in London on Saturday to undergo a medical tests ahead of his switch to the Hammers from Dutch Eredivisie, which he passed the medical examination.
The club's official statement reads “West Ham United are delighted to announce the signing of Mohammed Kudus.”
“The Hammers fought off intense competition from some of Europe’s leading clubs to secure the services of the exciting Ghana international attacker from Ajax.”
He joins the Irons on a five-year contract, becoming the Club’s third major summer signing following his former Ajax teammate and Mexico international Edson Álvarez and England midfielder James Ward-Prowse.
The five-year contract with a year option of renewal signed with the London Stadium outfit worth €45 million including sell-on clause of ten (10) percent to Ajax.
Premier League trio Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea were among other clubs to have registered an interest in Kudus earlier in this summer's transfer window. Brighton & Hove Albion also reached an agreement in principle to sign Kudus earlier this month but the deal hit snag.
He spent three seasons in Amsterdam, scoring 27 goals and providing 12 assists in 87 games across all competitions for Ajax.
Kudus Mohammed has also scored seven goals in 24 appearances for Ghana including two in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
