Former Dutch striker Marco van Basten has slammed the departure of Mohammed Kudus to West Ham. In his opinion, Ajax should not have let the Ghanaian midfielder leave, as he represents a valuable asset for the team.
Why is he going to West Ham?" the Dutchman asked Ziggo Sport Voetbal. He still has a two-year contract. Doesn't Ajax have the ambition to build a good team? Or do they just want to make money? What is the function of a soccer club? To entertain the public and give players the opportunity to excel, or to make money? You're going to sell people now because you'll make money. He still has everything to show Ajax. He's worked hard for a year. People come to the stadium to see him play.
Mohammed Kudus has signed for the Hammers for the next 5 years for a fee of €40 million.
