Chelsea are interested in signing West Ham United attacker Mohammed Kudus following the purchase of Brighton & Hove Albion forward Joao Pedro.
The Blues are keen on bolstering their forward department ahead of next season and they have already purchased Jamie Gittens and Pedro.
The club are expected to continue their spending spree and reports claim that Kudus has now emerged as a top target for the west London giants.
Kudus had a fantastic debut campaign with the Hammers in the Premier League, but he went off the boil in his second year at the east London side.
Despite this, he is on the radar of elite Premier League clubs. Aside from the Blues, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are also admirers of the forward.
Kudus has opened the door for a transfer, but he won’t come on the cheap.
There is a release clause worth £80 million in his contract, and the Hammers are expected to hold out for a figure close to that value.
