CHELSEA are the odds-on 4/5 favourites to sign Mohammed Kudus this summer.
That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who’ve priced up Kudus’ next destination should West Ham United agree to his sale.
Kudus, 24 has no shortage of admirers with clubs in Europe and Saudi reportedly monitoring his situation.
However, anyone considering the Ghana international will likely need to pay an eye-watering sum with three yers remaining on his contract plus the option for a further year.
It’s believed that West Ham would be prepared to listen to offers in the region of £70million for the player they signed from Ajax for £38m in 2023.
Kudus has scored 19 goals and provided 13 assists in 80 appearances for the Hammers, but the club might reluctantly sell to finance other deals for manager Graham Potter.
So who are the favourites to sign Mohammed Kudus?
Chelsea are the leading contenders at 4/5 following claims they’ve added him to their list of potential simmer targets.
It’s also been reported that Chelsea would be prepared to include goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in the deal.
However, Newcastle (5/2) aren’t far behind in Betfair’s markets with Football Insider claiming they’ve switched their attentions to Kudus having missed out on Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “As Graham Potter prepares for a much-needed revamp of his West Ham squad ahead of the new season, Chelsea have emerged as the odds-on favourites to sign Mohammed Kudus. Newcastle follow at 5/2, with Arsenal 9/2. Meanwhile, a move to Premier League champions Liverpool is 13/2.
“With plenty of interest in Kudus during the early stages of the summer transfer window, other potential destinations for the 24-year-old include Atletico Madrid at 15/2, Man City and Man United, 12/1 with AC Milan 16/1.”;
