Speaking on talkSPORT, Clarke shared his insights on why Kudus could be the perfect fit for Arsenal. “Mohammed Kudus is a player that Arsenal have had a long-term interest in. He is a perfect Bukayo Saka replacement who can also do a job up front. Wonderful traveler with the ball at his feet,” Clarke remarked. His ability to dribble past defenders and contribute both goals and assists makes him a standout choice for Arsenal.

Mohammed Kudus has been in scintillating form for West Ham United, attracting attention from several top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City. The 23-year-old Ghanaian international possesses the skill set that Arsenal in Saka’s absence. His versatility allows him to play across various attacking positions, providing Arteta with tactical flexibility.

Kudus’s potential move to Arsenal would not only address the immediate need for a right winger but also add depth to the squad, ensuring that Saka’s absence does not derail Arsenal’s pursuit of success in domestic and European competitions.

The upcoming January transfer window presents Arsenal with a golden opportunity to strengthen their squad. While other targets, such as AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze, have been mentioned, Clarke’s support for Kudus demonstrates his belief that the West Ham star is the best fit to replace Saka.
