Chelsea may bring in West Ham United attacker Kudus this summer

News has recently emerged that Premier League side Chelsea are eyeing West Ham United winger Mohamed Kudus.The 24-year-old Ghana international could leave West Ham United this summer and the Blues have listed him as one of their reinforcement targets.

Kudus has been doing very well for West Ham United so far, playing as an attacking midfielder or winger with excellent technique and aggressive running, making him an important player for the team.However, it seems that he does not intend to stay in this London club for a long time.He has reportedly turned down an offer from the Saudi Pro League – a club willing to pay a transfer fee of around £70 million and offer three times his current salary.But Kudus would prefer to continue his development in a high-level European league rather than play in the Middle East.

West Ham United, for their part, are also hoping to make a decent return from the transfer.They originally signed Kudus from Ajax in Holland for £38 million at the time.Now they are hoping to double their investment back.In addition, West Ham United have player exchange clauses associated with Kudus, which could complicate the deal, especially if it involves multiple player exchanges, and the wage structure could be affected.

For Chelsea, signing Kudus could be a good option.The team’s manager Enzo Maresca and his coaching staff are actively looking for new attackers to bolster the squad.Kudus is not only young and has potential, but more importantly he is also interested in playing in a top competition like the Champions League.Chelsea, as a team that regularly participates in the Champions League, is naturally attractive.

Besides Kudus, Chelsea has some other transfer moves.For example, in the goalkeeper position, they may consider bringing in AC Milan’s French goalkeeper Mike Meignan.Meignan’s contract with Milan will expire next year, and he himself does not intend to renew it.This is an opportunity for Chelsea because if Milan don’t sell this year, they could lose the goalkeeper for nothing next year.Therefore, the Blues may speed up the pace of negotiations in the next few days in a bid to finalize the signing before they head to the United States for the Club World Cup.

There are also rumors about the situation of current goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who could be on his way out.Sanchez played under current West Ham United boss Graham Potter when he played for Brighton and the two have a good relationship.This has also led to speculation as to whether Sanchez could be part of the Coudous deal.

As for other targets, such as Borussia Dortmund’s young winger Jamie Gittens, Chelsea are in no rush to move forward.While the England U21 international is also one of the Blues’ concerns, the team prefers to observe his development before deciding whether to make a move or not.

Overall, Chelsea have made a lot of moves in the transfer market this summer, as they are looking for suitable reinforcements in several positions.And Kudus could be one of the more realistic targets.If all goes well, fans may soon see the Ghanaian winger in a Blues shirt.
