Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has publicly expressed his admiration for Ghana international Mohammed Kudus, fueling speculation over a potential summer move.
Kudus, currently at West Ham United, is reportedly attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
Following Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Brazilian side Palmeiras in the FIFA Club World Cup, Maresca stopped short of confirming a formal pursuit but acknowledged his long-standing awareness of the 24-year-old’s talent.
“He’s a West Ham player, so I can’t say much. The only thing I can say is that I’ve known Kudus since his time at Ajax,” Maresca said.
West Ham signed Kudus from Ajax in 2023 for £38 million and are believed to be demanding at least £60 million to part ways with the versatile attacker.
Since his arrival, Kudus has netted 19 goals in 80 appearances for the Hammers.
