West Ham United midfielder Mohammed Kudus has emerged as a transfer target for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr ahead of the upcoming summer window, according to Football Insider.The Ghana international is reportedly being considered as a backup option to Brightons Kaoru Mitoma, who remains the top priority for the Middle Eastern club led by Cristiano Ronaldo.Al Nassr tried to sign Mitoma during the January transfer window, but their approach was turned down by Brighton. However, the club is expected to return with a fresh offer in the summer. Aware that the Seagulls may demand a high fee for the Japan international, Al Nassr have identified Kudus as one of the key alternatives.Kudus has enjoyed a strong debut season at West Ham since joining from Ajax, delivering consistent performances in both domestic and European competitions. His ability to play across midfield and attack has drawn attention from several clubs, including those in Saudi Arabia.Reports suggest that West Ham would demand a 120 million release clause from Saudi clubs to part ways with the 24-year-old, while Premier League clubs would be expected to pay around 85 million.
