Premier League outfit West Ham United could break the bank for Mohammed Kudus after a heroic display for Ajax in Europe.

Ajax Amsterdam fans have reacted to the performance of in-demand Ghana international Mohammed Kudus. 

Kudus was the best player on the pitch as Ajax thrashed Ludogorets in the Europa League qualifiers.

The Dutch side was just too good following a comprehensive 4-1 win over their hosts on Thursday night.

He started the evening with a blistering first half double before he wrapped up the win with his hat-trick for Ajax’s fourth goal five minutes after the restart. 

Ludogorets pulled one back late on to keep hope alive heading into the second leg in Amsterdam next week.

Kudus’ impressive performance was a kind reminder for the Dutch club and their fans on what they stand to lose as Kudus remains a key target for West Ham.

West Ham have made a bid for Ajax star Mohammed Kudus worth €41.5m plus a further €3m in performance-related add-ons.

Here are some of the reactions from the fans who took to X.com to express their feelings and also praise the Ghanaian for his impressive form.
