The Ghanaian forward has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time, with manager Arne Slot and defender Virgil van Dijk both offering praise for the 24-year-old.

Slot described Kudus as “almost uncontrollable” after the match, highlighting his skill and versatility. Van Dijk added that Kudus, alongside Lucas Paqueta, was key to West Ham’s attack, noting their free roles made them difficult to mark.

Kudus' impressive showing has fueled speculation about a move to the Premier League, with reports indicating that he could be available for £85 million this summer due to a release clause in his contract. While this fee is substantial, Liverpool’s interest in Kudus remains strong, with the forward's ability to play across the attack adding to his appeal.

With West Ham under pressure to sell, a potential deal could be in the works if Liverpool decides to meet the release clause.
