Initially, the Amsterdam club was not in the mood to sell Koudous, so it rejected two offers from the Hammers. The Londoners did not lose hope and managed to agree to buy the Ghanaian for £38 million, including bonuses.
Kudus himself has already agreed a contract with West Ham until 2028 with an option to extend for another year.
