Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown has hinted that Mohammed Kudus is being courted by Premier League side Chelsea.

The 24-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from West Ham United ahead of the 2025/26 season as he braces himself for a new challenge.

Interest from the Saudi Pro League has been mentioned, while Tottenham Hotspur are also said to have prioritised the signing of the Ghanaian.

However, Brown says Chelsea are also looking at an opportunity to secure the services of the attacking midfielder.

"It looks like Kudus will be leaving West Ham," he told Football Insider. “There’s been a lot of interest in him, but these clubs aren’t going to pay £80million for him.

"They’ll speak to West Ham to negotiate a lower fee, but I think it’s something they’re going to be open to because it will still be big money. I must be honest, I’ve got concerns about his consistency, and he didn’t have the best season.

"But these clubs will know that and they’ll think they know how to get the best out of him. Chelsea are the latest ones who are looking to make a move, and Tottenham are speaking to him too.

"With Chelsea, it feels like they can spend endless amounts of money and are prepared to do so. They’ve agreed a deal for João Pedro, and they’re going after Jamie Gittens too, but from what I hear, they’re not going to stop there.

"Kudus has admirers at Stamford Bridge, and they still want to bring in attacking reinforcements. So, despite my concerns personally, these clubs are keen to bring him in, and his talent is pretty obvious for everybody to see if they can get the best out of him."

Despite several reports about his future, Kudus remains tight-lipped on his next move as he continues his holiday in Ghana.
