West Ham United are looking to wrap up a deal for Mohammed Kudus as they are aware that Chelsea are still keen on signing the Ghana international this summer.
That is according to a report from 90min, which notes that the Ajax star has already agreed personal terms with the Hammers ahead of a potential switch.
Mohammed Kudus looks to be one of the names to look out for in the final days of the summer transfer window. His ability to play as a central midfielder or striker is likely to leave him on the radar of a host of sides. He has also featured on the right wing on a number of occasions.
West Ham aware Chelsea still want Kudus
It appears that it is West Ham on pole position to bring him to the Premier League. 90min reports that the Hammers have opened talks over a fee worth just under £30 million. Ajax however, want £40 million for the 23-year-old.
The Irons now want to wrap up a move as soon as they can as they are aware that Chelsea, and Arsenal, are also still in the running to land him.
Chelsea were dealt a big blow this week, with Michael Olise opting to stay at Crystal Palace and sign a new contract at Selhurst Park.
They have reportedly switched their attention to Brennan Johnson. But a move for Kudus would really excite a lot of supporters. He scored 11 goals in the Eredivisie last season. And he was his country’s standout player at last year’s World Cup.
He is an ‘incredible‘ talent. And in one of the most bizarre windows there has ever been, perhaps it should come as no surprise at all if there is one more twist to come before Kudus signs for his next club.
