Moreover, the contract includes an option for a further season, highlighting West Ham’s intention to build a lasting relationship with the Ghanaian midfielder.
This extension clause offers flexibility for the player and the club, ensuring that Kudus can continue his footballing journey with the Hammers beyond the initial contract period.
The Sell-On Clause
One of the most intriguing aspects of this transfer is including a sell-on clause. A sell-on clause is a contractual agreement that entitles a player’s previous club to receive a percentage of the transfer fee if the player is sold again in the future.
In Kudus’ case, Ajax will benefit from this arrangement if West Ham transfers him to another club.
