Chelsea have joined the race for Mohammed Kudus, with the interest in the Ajax attacker growing with each passing day.
According to Fichajes, Mohammed Kudus is attracting plenty of interest, and as many as four clubs are in the hunt. Chelsea are the recent entrant in the chase and battle with Real Madrid and Liverpool for the Ghanaian attacking midfielder.
Mohammed Kudus is attracting plenty of interest from top clubs around the continent. Ajax are bracing themselves for big offers, having decided not to sell the Ghanaian attacker when offers arrived in the summer. Everton reportedly made a £15 million bid which was tempting at that time. But the Eredivisie giants evaded interest.
Kudus was not even in Ajax’s plans until early October. But his numbers this season indicate he is seemingly destined for the top. Kudus has 12 goals for club and country. The most recent strikes came against South Korea, including the winner for Ghana. That goal has kept the Black Stars’ hopes alive to qualify for the next round.
Irrespective of how deep Ghana travel, Kudus is already attracting plenty of interest, including that of north London sides Arsenal and Tottenham. But the Londoners are not the only two clubs pursuing him, with some of the biggest sides around the continent keeping tabs on the Ajax attacker.
Liverpool have a keen interest in the attacking midfielder as Jurgen Klopp looks for a solution to fill the creative void left by Sadio Mane. Elsewhere, Real Madrid are keen and are joined by Chelsea in the hunt for the Ajax attacker.
Chelsea are in the market for the best talents and could approach Kudus. At 22 years, the Ghanaian international is a massive prospect for the future, and Todd Boehly is in the hunt for precisely such talents. The report also mentions the Blues would pay over the odds to secure the talent.
Chelsea have already shown their financial muscle in the market by paying enormous sums for young stars like Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana. They are reportedly paying through their nose for French attacker Christopher Nkunku while also keeping tabs on Rafael Leao’s situation.
Overall, Chelsea’s future looks bright and exciting, and a player like Kudus would add to the gloss. Ajax will brace themselves for huge offers and will certainly hope the chase for Kudus ensues a transfer battle of sorts amid interest from Liverpool and Real Madrid.
