‘Newcastle make new Mohammed Kudus transfer decision after Eddie Howe verdict’
Newcastle United are undecided over pursuing a move to sign West Ham star Mohammed Kudus in the summer transfer window.
That is according to former Man United and West Ham scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that Eddie Howe has doubts about the 24-year-old’s consistency.
His £85million release clause is also an issue for the Magpies, who would need the Hammers to lower their demands before even considering an offer.
Football Insider revealed on 9 June that Newcastle could negotiate a lower fee for Kudus as they are not prepared to match his release clause.
After a difficult season in East London which saw the Ghana international pick up five goals and four assists in 35 appearances, interest is believed to have cooled.
This comes after Football Insider revealed in May that Kudus will turn down Saudi Pro League offers and plans to stay in Europe should he be allowed to leave West Ham.
