The Gunners have not been afraid to splash the cash, with more than £200million being spent on the likes of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz, but boss Mikel Arteta is still in the hunt for further reinforcements.
Arsenal transfer news - Mohammed Kudus
According to MailOnline, Arsenal have set their sights on making Kudus their next big-money signing of the summer window.
The report suggests the Ghana international, who scored 18 goals for Ajax last season and was described as a "superstar" by Guardian journalist Ed Aarons, is valued at £40million and the Gunners could up the ante in their pursuit after players who are deemed surplus to requirements are offloaded by sporting director Edu.
But Arsenal are not Kudus' only admirers as Brighton & Hove Albion have set their sights on reaching an agreement ahead of Europa League action heading to the Amex Stadium in the upcoming campaign.Manchester United and Newcastle United have also been tracking the forward after he made it clear to Ajax that he is keen to move onto pastures new ahead of the transfer window slamming shut.
But the Eredivisie giants are in a strong negotiating position as Kudus' contract, which allows him to pocket £10,550-per-week, still has two years to run.
The former Nordsjaelland man has found the back of the net 37 times and registered a further 14 assists during the early stages of his senior club career.
What has Ben Jacobs said about Kudus?
Jacobs understands that Arsenal are keeping tabs on Kudus ahead of potentially raiding Ajax just a matter of days after signing Jurrien Timber from the Dutch giants.
But the respected journalist is aware that the Gunners will not move for the 22-year-old until Thomas Partey's future is resolved.
