Chelsea is reportedly still in the frame this summer due to a potential relocation of West Ham United’s right winger Mohammed Kudus.
Ghana International, which scored five goals and provided four assists to his teammates last season, is also the focus of Manchester United’s interest.
That’s according to a Guardian report that suggests that Chelsea is still considering signing Kudus, which has a release clause worth £85 million.
Kudus shined in West Ham’s first season, but slipped his standards very importantly in his second campaign at London Stadium.
Now it seems extremely dangerous to pay anywhere near £85 million for Kudus, but the 24-year-old clearly has a team that interests him.
West Ham is not keen on Mohammed Kudus swap deals
The Guardian says Chelsea are eager to offer players to West Ham as part of the Kudus deal, but Man UTD has also tried this, and East Londoners are not eager.
Whufc appears to prefer straight sales, but Kudos himself is said to be keen on leaving the club this summer.
It will be interesting to see if you can come up with an offer that is closer to West Ham’s rating, but for now, this seems to be a bit dragging.
Is Kudus worth the risks of Chelsea and United?
Kudus could be a great offensive threat from his time, bringing pace, skill and creativity from its right side.
We saw how talented Kudus was in his Ajax era, and he initially looked like a great addition to this West Ham team.
If we can see Kudus again, he would certainly be a major upgrade to the Antony-like flops in Old Trafford.
However, it’s hard to see Kudus get a lot of game time on Stamford Bridge as Chelsea is certainly too many left-footed players who support the role on its right side, as they’re surely too many.
