Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has reported that Arsenal are set to sell six players to fund the transfer of Mohammed Kudus from Ajax this summer.
Romano said that Mikel Arteta side has made the Ghana international a top priority, given Nicolas Pepe’s potential exit from the Emirates this summer.
For this reason, the Gunners are looking to sell six players to match the €40 million asking price for the forward.
The players mentioned in the report are: Cedric Soares, Nuno Tavares, Pepe, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Kieran Tierney and Rob Holding.
Kudus can play either as an attacking midfielder or out wide.
The Premier League club was linked with Moussa Diaby of Bayer Leverkusen. But they have lost out to Aston Villa, who are ready to pay £51.9 million for the winger.
During his last season with Ajax, Kudus made 42 appearances, scoring 18 goals and providing seven assists across all competitions.
