Arsenal Football Club appears to be gaining traction in their quest to bolster their attacking lineup, potentially setting their sights on a big-money transfer in 2025. Despite currently ranking as one of the top teams in the Premier League, the Gunners have faced scrutiny regarding their goal-scoring capabilities, particularly with a notable reliance on set pieces.

With 29 goals scored in their first 15 league matches, Arsenal's offensive output has been steady, but the absence of standout performances from players, with none scoring more than five goals, has raised eyebrows. Manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly eager to strengthen his squad further, especially with the January transfer window approaching.

Emerging reports suggest that West Ham United's Mohammed Kudus could be a viable target for Arsenal. The Hammers are reportedly open to offloading the young forward, especially after a mixed start to his season where he has managed just two goals and two assists from 10 Premier League appearances. The club invested heavily in new talent over the past summer, with over £130 million spent, but has struggled to establish a firm position in the race for European qualification.

Kudus’s inconsistent form appears to have prompted West Ham officials to rethink their stance on his future, with previous valuations reaching as high as £80 million. However, there are indications that clubs may be hesitant to meet this price tag under the current circumstances, suggesting a more flexible approach could be adopted to facilitate a move.

In a recent game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Kudus played a role in securing a vital 2-1 victory for West Ham, which helped ease pressure on manager Julen Lopetegui. Goals from Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen, following Matt Doherty's equalizer, keep the Hammers hopeful of closing the gap to European spots as they target a strong finish to the season.

As Arsenal eyes ambitious signings, the footballing world will be watching closely to see if they can secure Kudus or turn their attention to other prospective targets as winter approaches. Will Arsenal’s pursuit of the talented forward lead to a breakthrough in their transfer strategy? Stay tuned for updates.
