West Ham considering two Chelsea stars ahead of potential Mohammed Kudus exit

Chelsea and their London rivals West Ham United could end up doing quite a bit of business with each other during this transfer window.

Despite closing in on the signings of Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, Chelsea still want Mohammed Kudus.

It is thought that Chelsea will have to sell players before they can bring the West Ham attacker to Stamford Bridge, though.

While Kudus could be heading from east London to west London this summer, another player could make the reverse trip.

West Ham could make move for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall or Carney Chukwuemeka

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is only a squad player at Chelsea, while Carney Chukwuemeka is not currently part of Enzo Maresca‘s first team.

It means both men could leave Stamford Bridge, with the London Stadium being a potential destination for them.

According to talkSPORT, West Ham could turn their attention to Dewsbury-Hall or Chukwuemeka if Kudus departs.

Any kind of cash-plus-player deal seems unlikely, however. The Chelsea Chronicle has been told that Chelsea have already offered Dewsbury-Hall to West Ham in their bid to land Kudus but were unsuccessful.

Tottenham Hotspur are also thought to be very keen on signing Kudus, so there is no guarantee that the attacker will end up at the Bridge.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has impressed at Club World Cup

For the time being, Dewsbury-Hall remains with Chelsea’s first-team squad. The midfielder is currently at the Club World Cup and is having a good tournament.

He scored in the Blues’ 4-1 win against Benfica in the last 16 and also impressed in his only start so far against Esperance Sportive de Tunis.

According to WhoScored, the 26-year-old recorded three key passes during his side’s 3-0 victory. No player managed to register more.

All in all, Dewsbury-Hall is a really good squad player, but the Englishman will want to be more than that, which is why a move to West Ham could make a lot of sense.
