Chelsea have not ruled out a move for West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, who is also wanted by Tottenham, despite being set to splash more than £100million collectively on two other forwards in Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens.
However, the belief is the Blues would likely need to sell players before swooping for the 24-year-old Ghanaian who is available for sale this summer as the Hammers are looking to fund their own summer buys.
Chelsea have looked at the possibility of sending players to West Ham in return, but sources at the London Stadium have told Mail Sport that they are not interested in the potential trades that have been broached thus far.
