Chelsea are interested in the services of Mohammed Kudus, The Athletic reported on Saturday afternoon. The Londoners have already contacted Ajax and expressed their interest in the Ghanaian international, who will remain in Amsterdam until mid-2025. According to reports, Kudus would like to leave the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
The first talks between the clubs have already been held, although Chelsea has not yet put a concrete offer on the table. In addition, the Blues are already close to a personal agreement with Kudus, who certainly sees a move to Stamford Bridge. Kudus finally refused to extend his contract with Ajax for a year in April.

According to the Daily Mail, Ajax is willing to let Kudus leave for 40 million British pounds, the equivalent of 46.5 million euros. Kudus can play both in midfield and in the vanguard and, partly because of this versatility, is also in the interest of Arsenal, which seems less concrete at the moment.
The 22-year-old Ghanaian is also emphatically followed by Brighton & Hove Albion, which, however, does not seem to be taking any concrete steps to bind the Ajax player. Kudus impressed on Tuesday in the exhibition game against Shakhtar Donetsk (3-0 win) with two goals and an assist. “Inducing him to stay a year longer could well be the most important ‘acquisition’ for Ajax,” said Ajax watcher Mike Verweij afterwards. Kudus has been pushing for a departure internally for some time.
