Star winger WANTS to join Liverpool | OneFootball

If the right offer comes in for Diaz, it would not be a surprise to see him leave Liverpool for pastures new this summer. His departure would then open up a gap for Liverpool to fill on the wing as well.

Even though there's Cody Gakpo and Florian Wirtz who could play in the left-wing position, adding another winger will be a priority for the Reds.

Wirtz plays his best football in the middle of the park and he will not be considered as a left-winger at Anfield. Gakpo will be the first choice option there, but the Reds will want to bring someone in who could compete for a starting role.

And it seems like the perfect option might have made himself available to Liverpool.

According to the editor-in-chief of LFC Transfer Room, Matt Thielen posting on his X account:

'Mohammed Kudus’ agent has informed Liverpool that the player would be open to accepting a reduced salary should the club express interest in securing his services amid interest from Tottenham & Chelsea.'

This sounds like Kudus would be open to accepting a move to Liverpool, and if that's the move the Reds make it will divide fans.

Last season, the Ghanaian registered just eight goal contributions in the Premier League and really struggled to make an impact for West Ham United.

But that was largely down to West Ham's poor performances as well. Only five teams scored fewer goals than them in the Premier League, with three of those being the relegated sides and the other two being Manchester United and Everton.

The season prior when things were going better for West Ham, Kudus registered 17 goal contributions.

He's really quick and he's a very efficient dribbler. Out of players who played at least 2000 minutes in the Premier League, no one attempted more dribbles than Kudus (7.1 per 90).

And among those who played 2000 minutes and attempted at least six dribbles, only Noni Madueke (62%) had a better completion rate than Kudus (60%).

So, Kudus not only attempts a lot of dribbles, he completes a high volume as well. His end product does need to improve but in a better team that would inevitably get better.

On top of that, he is also capable of playing anywhere across the frontline and not just as a left-winger. He's played on the right for West Ham, and he's played in central roles for club and country as well.
