Ghanaian Star Mohammed Kudus Joins German Agency ROOF, Fueling Summer Transfer Speculation
Ghana international and West Ham United attacking midfielder, Mohammed Kudus, has officially joined German-based agency ROOF, a move that is expected to significantly impact his future as the summer transfer window heats up. The 24-year-old has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with English giants Arsenal and Liverpool among the clubs reportedly keen on securing his services.
Kudus’s future at West Ham has been uncertain, with previous transfer opportunities reportedly hampered by issues with his representation. He recently parted ways with his long-time agent, Jennifer Mendeleswitch, who had previously brokered his moves to Ajax and then West Ham. Following this, his family briefly managed his affairs.
The switch to ROOF, a prominent agency that boasts clients such as Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk and Arsenal’s Kai Havertz, signals a clear intent for Kudus to explore new options. With new, established representation, clubs interested in the talented Ghanaian are now expected to open formal negotiations, potentially paving the way for a high-profile transfer. Fellow Ghanaian international Ernest Nuamah is also represented by ROOF.
Kudus enjoyed a sensational debut season with West Ham in the 2023/24 campaign, where he was a standout performer, contributing an impressive 20 goals across all competitions (including 8 goals and 6 assists in 33 Premier League appearances). However, his goal-scoring output in the just-ended 2024/25 season saw a dip, with only five Premier League goals. Despite this, his overall quality, versatility, and potential have continued to attract suitors.
Reports suggest that Arsenal has already held exploratory talks for Kudus, while Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also monitoring his situation. Kudus reportedly has an £85 million release clause in his contract, active between July 1 and July 10, though there’s a general expectation that no English club will meet that valuation, with West Ham potentially open to a fee closer to £60 million.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on Mohammed Kudus and his new agents at ROOF as they navigate what promises to be a busy and potentially transformative summer for the highly-rated Ghanaian star.
