West Ham United are very eager to push for the signing Ajax's Mohammed Kudus.

The Hammers are eager to add the creative midfielder to manager David Moyes' squad.

Per the Evening Standard, Kudus is now their priority target and could be signed even if Lucas Paqueta stays.

The Hammers are fending off interest from Manchester City in Paqueta, as they rejected a £60 million offer.

However, City losing Kevin De Bruyne for several months to injury means their interest will only grow.

West Ham may be hoping to secure Kudus for a reasonable fee before they sell Paqueta for big money.
