Former Liverpool and England international Danny Murphy has named Mohammed Kudus as a potential target for the Reds during the upcoming transfer window, suggesting the Ghanaian star could be a key addition to Arne Slot’s attacking lineup.
Murphy’s comments followed Liverpool’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, a win that secured their 20th Premier League title and marked a historic debut campaign for new manager Arne Slot. The Dutch tactician, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp, achieved this feat without major summer signings, further heightening anticipation for potential reinforcements.
Speaking to the BBC, Murphy praised West Ham United’s Kudus for his versatility and technical brilliance.
“Kudus is robust, skilful, and can play as a number 10, or on the left or right. He is super strong and got great pace,” Murphy said.
The 24-year-old Kudus, who joined West Ham from Ajax in 2023, has quickly risen to prominence in the English top flight. He is currently nearing the end of his second season in the Premier League, and his performances have reportedly caught the eye of elite clubs across Europe and the Middle East.
Among the growing transfer rumours, Kudus has been linked with a €100 million move to Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, where he could potentially join fellow stars like Cristiano Ronaldo. However, Murphy’s endorsement opens the door for a possible switch to Anfield, especially as Liverpool’s forward line faces uncertainty heading into the summer.
Speculation continues to swirl around Darwin Núñez, Diogo Jota, and Federico Chiesa, all of whom have been linked with moves away from the Merseyside club. With these departures looming, Liverpool’s recruitment team is reportedly considering a reshuffle, with Kudus emerging as a prime candidate to inject pace, creativity, and attacking depth.
Kudus’s ability to operate across multiple attacking positions aligns well with Slot’s fluid attacking philosophy, making him a seamless fit for the system. His blend of strength, flair, and tactical awareness has been evident throughout his time in the EPL, positioning him as one of Africa’s standout football exports.
While no official approach has been made, Danny Murphy’s backing could amplify calls among Liverpool fans and pundits for the club to move quickly before competitors do.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Kudus’s next move—and whether he will become Anfield’s next marquee signing.
