Brighton reach agreement with Ajax to sign Mohamed Kudus

Brighton have reached an agreement with Ajax to sign Ghanaian midfielder Mohamed Kudus for £34.5m which would mark a club-record fee.

Sounds like Moises replacement

Is 'Sportslens' a reliable source?

If so, let's not forget he's going to be away at the African Nations Cup every other year.

No need, Ornstein is also an Athletic writer

Not just any Athletic writer, he IS the Writer!

Wow . We have changed strategy. De Zerbi is pushing Tony to the top !!!!

We've signed Cucurella, Mwepu, Estupinan in recent seasons who are young , expensive , tens of millions but experienced.
Pedro, Igor Julio, Kudus (if signed) are in that vein - but considerably more expensive reflecting the market, European football, our net ££ income, - alongside the free transfers, veterans, u21 prospects and young £m wunderkids from Peru etc.

Read somewhere they're now looking elsewhere ?
Leonardo Parades from PSG...............maybe really piss them off and go for him ?

I think if we can get this calibre of player in, it may reset the minds of the players we have about the club and not try to push a move. Not saying any are planning on doing that at the moment.

 

[SeaGullBum]

Once we have Confirmation from Mike Verwij, the Ajax correspondent for the De Telegraaf, then I'll be all in on this.

He's Ajax's Ornstein

 

[Mr Smggles]

All these additional “sources” are just feeding off David Ornstein’s tweet/Athletic article. He himself is a very reliable source but all the others are just copying him.

 

[SeaGullBum]

You know how good Ornstein is, he never tweets unless he's absolutely certain it's the truth, Fabrizio gives us 40 non updates a day lol.

 

[American Seagle]

Is anyone else nervous about his checkered injury past? Only seems to have played one full season the other two he missed half the games from injury/recovery.
It makes me nervous especially given the physical increase in the EPL combined with the fee.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Think it might take a while for him to adapt but there's some good raw materials. I'm not quite sure where he fits though. The double pivot, in all likelihood will be Moises and Mahmoud. If it's out right, I don't see him being as effective as Solly or Joao Pedro and I don't think he has the vision to be a No.10.

It only makes sense if it's backup with one eye on replacing Caicedo within the next 6-12 months. Seems very strange to have a £35m backup/squad player

Right wing I’d imagine but from reading I suspect moises replacement but his versatility means can be used various positions when needed

 

[Triggaaar]

If we get this fella and keep Caicedo they will have to issue flood warnings on the Thames for all the Chelsea plastic’s tears.

More like flood warnings on the Mekong

 

[Frutos]

Reasonably excited if this happens and we keep caciedo. Pissed off if this happens and caciedo goes.

REASONABLY?

Bloody hell.

 

[astralavi]

This will really rub Chelsea up the wrong way

 

[The Pilsbury Echo]

Not sure the Kudus transfer has any bearing on Moises being sold I wouldn't mind betting its to replace either Mitoma or possibly Enciso who may go to City. Just a hunch nothing more.

 

[Van Cleef]

How's south London reacting to this news or are they still dizzy with excitement over their second signing this window - one week before kick off.

This was a few minutes ago in Croydon. Looks quiet. I think most of them have gone to ground.

It’s interesting the fan mindset, four players that flop at £10m each is deemed acceptable. One player we sign for £35m and you are nervous? Every signing is a gamble to some extent we know Bloom wouldn’t do anything reckless so go with the flow.

 

[Frutos]

Can absolutely gaurantee he's not choosing us over Chelsea , arsenal etc who would pay him double. It's a nice dream though !!

Given how often you're wrong and/or clueless, I'd say this one's in the bag.

 

[The Fits]

Felt like this was going to happen, so pleased it finally has. A real statement signing.
Super exciting.
