Among the interested parties are Premier League clubs Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton, and Manchester United, who have reportedly shown interest in acquiring the talented player's services. However, Steijn's recent statement implies that he believes the current interest in Kudus doesn't come from the best in the business.
In a statement to De Telegraaf, the Ajax manager expressed his belief that Kudus might attract even bigger clubs if he stays at Ajax for another year and puts up impressive performances. He stated, "I have the feeling that if he stayed for another year, the real top would come for him. If we become champions and he scores twenty goals, he might go for ‘double’. We try to keep that in mind."
Mohammed Kudus joined Ajax in 2020 from Nordsjaelland for a reported fee of €9 million. Since his arrival, he has showcased his talent and potential, catching the attention of several top European clubs.
Chelsea is one of the clubs that has reportedly shown a keen interest in the young midfielder. While they have established contact with Ajax, no official bid has been made yet, according to The Athletic's Saturday story.
As the transfer window progresses, the future of Mohammed Kudus remains uncertain, with fans eagerly awaiting the final decision regarding his potential move to a bigger club. Ajax will also have a crucial role to play in the player's future, as they look to balance their interests in retaining their top talents and exploring potential transfer opportunities.
