West Ham confirm the signing of Mohammed Kudus in a £38m deal from Ajax, with the Ghanaian winger signing a five-year contract

West Ham have announced the £38million signing of Mohammed Kudus from Ajax, with manager David Moyes hailing the Ghanaian winger as a 'terrific young talent.'

Kudus underwent a medical on Saturday after flying into London on a private jet with West Ham technical director Tim Steidten.

The Hammers have now sealed a deal worth €41.5m plus €3m in add-ons (£35.5m plus £2.5m) for Kudus.

He becomes the club's fourth summer signing – after Edson Alvarez, James Ward-Prowse and Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Kudus has signed a five-year deal with West Ham claiming they had 'fought off intense competition from some of Europe’s leading clubs' to sign the attacker.
