Former Ghana international, Prince Tagoe, has encouraged Mohammed Kudus to weigh the option of moving to the Saudi Pro League amid growing interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia.
According to ESPN, Al-Ittihad is preparing a substantial offer of around $150 million along with a guaranteed weekly salary of $300,000 for the 23-year-old midfielder.
Tagoe, who played in Saudi Arabia for seven years from 2006 to 2009, believes that such a move would not hinder Kudus' development.
Speaking on Angel TV, Tagoe advised, "Kudus should prioritize what's best for him and his family. If he chooses Saudi Arabia, he'll find that the league is more challenging than people perceive."
"The Saudi league has always been competitive, even if it hasn't always garnered much global attention," Tagoe concluded.
Kudus, who joined West Ham from Ajax Amsterdam last summer enjoyed an impressive debut campaign in England, scoring 14 goals and providing 6 assists across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Manchester City and Liverpool are also said to be interested in the former Right to Dream Academy graduate.
