Chelsea have been tipped as a possible surprise transfer suitor for West Ham United winger Mohammed Kudus, with a former Hammers scout discussing the player’s future.
Kudus has shone during his time at the London Stadium, and it’s not too surprising to hear that there’s a lot of interest in the Ghana international, with Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City named as being among his suitors in a report from Football Insider.
That report also carries quotes from former West Ham scout Mick Brown, who says he thinks Kudus is probably too expensive for a lot of the clubs involved, though he also admitted that you can never be too sure what Chelsea are going to do when it comes to the transfer market.
Kudus would likely cost as much as £85million, according to Football Insider, and although the 24-year-old is undoubtedly a top player, it remains to be seen if he’s worth quite that much, while it’s also debatable if any of the aforementioned clubs really need to spend that kind of money when they already have a lot of similar attacking players.
Mohammed Kudus transfer: Could Chelsea make a surprise move?
Arsenal already have quality wide-forwards like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, while Raheem Sterling also recently moved to the Emirates Stadium on loan, so it’s hard to see why Kudus would be a priority for the Gunners.
Liverpool, meanwhile, might want to think about replacing Mohamed Salah soon, though offering him a new contract would surely be the club’s priority, while they also have Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota to choose from in attack.

Chelsea also have a lot of options in that position, with Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke in fine form, while there’s also Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho and Mykhailo Mudryk in that area of the pitch.
Still, Brown can imagine it might be the Blues who move for Kudus as it’s certainly true that you can never exactly rule…
