Erik ten Hag will attempt to raid former club Ajax for the third time in six months and sign Mohammed Kudus.
The Manchester United boss wants to recruit a new striker during the January transfer window, with Kudus capable of playing up front and in a variety of forward positions. The 22-year-old shone for Ghana at the World Cup and his impressive performances have convinced Ten Hag to pursue him - just as the Dutchman did with ex-Ajax stars Lisandro Martinez and Antony over the summer.
As reported by the Daily Star, Ajax are demanding at least £35million to part ways with Kudus, who almost joined Everton in August but ended staying in Holland. Ten Hag is aware that his former employers want to maximise profits on their attacker, who they paid Danish club Nordsjaelland around £7.9m for in 2020, especially after the Ghanaian's value increased thanks to his exploits in Qatar.
