Frustration
This is slowly turning into a transfer tale that is dragging on, with fans undoubtedly growing impatient. There are only a few days left in the current transfer window, which has been filled with drama at the London Stadium, and with the Premier League season officially starting, Moyes will most certainly want some clarification.
If Kudus is not to be signed, there isn’t much time for the club to find a substitute and finalize a deal, and fans will be hoping that they already have replacements lined up in the background if a third attempt for Kudus is turned down.
Of course, there is no reason that a deal can not still get done, but time is now of the essence and the clock is ticking against officials at the East London club.
It is now or never, and time to pay up if they want to bring the 23-year-old to the Premier League.
