Liverpool target Mohammed Kudus admits he wanted to join Everton

Kudus has really impressed this season – not just in ဣthe Eredivisie but also in the Champions League.

The Ghanaian, branded as a ‘devastating’ finisher by Chris𒉰 Sutton, has been꧒ linked with a whole host of clubs ahead of the transfer windows in 2023.

Liverpool seem like the main suitors, but a report rℱevealed last month that Tottenham wa🧜nt to sign him in the January transfer window as well.

However, Ku♏dus has now come out ♓and admitted that he was very keen to join Everton when they tried to sign him last summer.

He told : “I thought [Eve𝓀rton] wasꦦ a good project for me and why not?

“It’s ꦡnot like it’s my first se🅷ason at Ajax, it’s my third. So, if I’m not seeing the progress I’m looking for then why not try something else?”

Kudus’ current contrac🎃t a💧t Ajax expires in the summer of 2025.

TBR View:

There are few things in the world that Liverpool fans enjoy more than getting th🦩e better of their fierce Merseyside rivals✱, Everton.

By Kudus’ own admission, it looks lꦯike the Toffees were very close to signing him las♍t summer, but Ajax stood firm and kept hold of their star man.

In January, just six months after Everton failed, Liverpool could snap him up. The Reds already know how good he is hav🅰ing seen him score past Alisson in the Champions League this season.

He would be an interesting signing for Jurgen Klopp’s side, but Everton✅ fans will certainly be left gutted if that move goes through and he be♈comes a hit at Anfield.
