West Ham United have agreed a deal with Ajax for midfielder Mohammed Kudus.
The deal is worth £38m (€44.5m) including add-ons.
Ajax were reluctant to sell Kudus and rejected two of West Ham's offers for the midfielder.
According to reports, the midfielder has agreed a five-year contract with the option of a further 12 months.
Kudus has started both Eredivisie matches for the Dutch club this season - scoring in the opening game and providing an assist in the second, before netting a hat-trick in their Europa League play-off victory at Ludogorets on Thursday night.
Kudus is expected to fly into London on Saturday to start his medical.
Kudus started his professional career at Danish side Nordsjaelland in 2018, before joining Ajax in 2020 where he has scored 27 goals in 87 appearances, helping his side to two Dutch league titles.
He scored 11 goals in 30 Eredivisie appearances last season as Ajax finished third.
For Ghana, Kudus has scored seven goals in 24 games since making his debut in 2019 and started all three matches for his side at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, scoring twice in a 3-2 win over South Korea.
He could become manager David Moyes' second purchase from Ajax this summer following the arrival of fellow midfielder Edson Alvarez in a deal thought to be worth about £35m.
West Ham also signed midfielder James Ward-Prowse from Southampton and defender Konstantinos Mavropanos from Stuttgart earlier this month.
