Ajax did not have a season they usually enjoy in the Dutch top tier. The Amsterdaamers are used to collecting at least two domestic trophies, with almost being subscribed to the league silverware. In the season that recently ended, Ajax won nothing and it hurts the Netherlands’ biggest club. It hurts bad.However there is something the club from the country’s capital can be proud of and that is the performances of Mohammed Kudus, who was Ajax’s overall top scorer with 18 goals. And it is no surprise a number of clubs across Europe are after the Ghanaian.Back in April, the 22-year-old rejected a one-year contract extension with Ajax which was a green light for interested parties to prepare their offers to bring the African in.##NAJAVA_MECA_7339157##The young Black Star joined the Eredivisie side in 2020 and might be switching Eredivisie for Premier League three years later as Brighton are reportedly considering Kudus as a ‘top target this summer’. Several other Premier League sides, including Manchester United, Newcastle and Chelsea had reportedly been interested in the attacking midfielder, who has seemingly become unsettled at the Dutch outfit, notably striking from training last year in a bid to push through a move to Everton. According to Fabrizio Romano, Brighton now have a ‘concrete interest’ in the Ghanaian, who has been capped 21 times by his national side, and have made him a ‘top target this summer’, while also admitting that ‘Chelsea have not held concrete talks with him.’Brighton are looking to replace Alexis Mac Allister, who departed the club at the start of June for 40 million euros. But Brighton could face stiff competition from Manchester Untied, with Erik ten Hag previously identifying the midfielder as an exciting prospect that he could look to bring to Old Trafford.🚨 Mohammed Kudus is one of Brighton’s top transfer targets for the summer. 🔍🇬🇭(Source: @FabrizioRomano ) pic.twitter.com/caMoMDyA7S— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) June 24, 2023 Kudus, who plays in a similar advanced role to the Argentinian could be a good addition to Roberto De Zerbi’s squad, as the Seagulls are also preparing to lose Moises Caicedo.Should Caicedo leave the Amex Stadium, Brighton would certainly then need to bring in a couple of new midfielders and Kudus would be a great option. With Ajax, the Ghana international has already won two Eredivisie titles and a Dutch cup, cementing himself as a key figure in Ajax’s squad, returning 24 goals in the 83 matches he’s played for the club, across all competitions.
