Arne Slot Eyes Bold Double Raid on West Ham: Bowen and Kudus Tipped for Anfield Switch
Liverpool’s incoming boss Arne Slot has delivered a bombshell in his early days at the helm, openly revealing his distaste for Premier League transfers — with one huge exception: Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.
In a refreshingly candid interview, Slot said:
“I’m not really a fan of signing players, especially in the Premier League. But for these two players, I could make an exception.”
While he stopped short of naming names, fans and insiders were quick to connect the dots. Bowen, with his high-energy style and killer instinct in front of goal, and Kudus, a familiar face from Slot’s Eredivisie days, fit the bill perfectly. Both have been standouts for West Ham, and both are reportedly on Liverpool’s radar as the Reds gear up for a post-Klopp rebuild.
Why Bowen?
- Proven Premier League attacker
- Tactically disciplined and relentless in pressing — Slot’s bread and butter
- Potential long-term replacement for Salah or Díaz
Why Kudus?
- Former Ajax star who impressed Slot in the Netherlands
- Can play as a 10, winger, or advanced 8
- Brings flair, goals, and unpredictability — exactly what Liverpool’s midfield has lacked
Sources close to Anfield suggest Liverpool could prepare a £100+ million package to tempt West Ham, though convincing both stars to leave might prove tricky. Still, Champions League football, a new project under Slot, and the lure of playing at Anfield could tip the balance.
This bold potential double swoop signals that Slot isn’t coming in to just maintain Klopp’s legacy — he’s ready to evolve it.
