Premier League side West Ham United have had an improved offer for Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus rejected by Ajax.

The London club are reported to have placed a second bid of €42 million for the left-footed player after their initial bid was turned down.

However, Fabrizio Romano reports their latest submission to the Dutch side has also been rejected with the club demanding more for the Black Stars prodigy.

Though the offer was higher than the earlier fee Ajax agreed with Brighton and Hove Albion earlier in the transfer window, the Eredivisie side has intentions to accept the bid at the presented conditions.

Kudus is keen on a move away from Ajax this summer after enjoying a great season during the 2022/23 campaign.

West Ham were reported to be progressing in talks with the player's entourage but an agreement between the two clubs is yet to be reached.
