Everton must make a move for Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus in January
Everton are still interested in signing electric Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus this summer, according to Dutch news outlet Voetbal Primeur.
The report claims that Everton are still interested in bringing Kudus to Goodison Park and will face competition for his signature from Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham.
The Blues must now make a move for Kudus in January, to avoid a bidding war for his signature this summer.
Everton’s midfield has been thriving this season, with Alex Iwobi, Idrissa Gueye, Amadou Onana and in recent weeks James Garner all impressing.
Nevertheless, Kudus would add a completely different sauce to the Toffees engine room and fans will be delighted to hear the club are still interested in him.
Game changer.
Signing Kudus would be an absolute statement of intent from Everton and Lampard and it’s a move that would get fans excited.
The 22-year-old has shown he has the ability to mix it with the best in the UEFA Champions League this campaign and it’s this kind of pedigree that Everton needs.
Moving forward, the Blues need to sign players like Kudus to propel themselves up the league table and it’s the only way they’ll compete in the Premier League.
Everton will likely face stiff competition for his signature in the summer, as highlighted in the report and this should prompt the club to make a move in January.
A January switch may prove to be a bit far-fetched but it’s worth a punt to test the waters with Ajax again.
The Ghana international still has another three years on his contract, which may make the Dutch outfit hike his price even more.
But he could prove to be worth every penny if this season’s exploits are anything to go by.
