West Ham United is exploring financial strategies to secure Jean-Clair Todibo permanently by 2025, with the potential sale of star forward Mohammed Kudus being a key consideration, according to The Sun.
The club is committed to paying Nice £34 million for Todibo next year but needs to free up funds to complete the deal.
Jack Rosser’s report suggests that the Irons could raise the necessary funds by selling Kudus, who has an £85 million release clause. Kudus joined West Ham United from Ajax on a five-year contract in August 2023 for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut in a 2–1 away win against Luton Town and scored his first goals for the club in a UEFA Europa League match against Bačka Topola.
Currently, Kudus's market value is estimated at 50 million euros by Transfermarkt. The potential sale of Kudus could provide the financial boost West Ham needs to secure Todibo on a full-time basis starting next season.
