Before completing his move to Tottenham this summer, Mohammed Kudus found himself at the center of an intense transfer pursuit from Chelsea. The Blues mounted a determined effort to secure the Ghanaian international, pushing aggressively to bring the attacking midfielder to Stamford Bridge.

Following two impressive seasons at West Ham United that established him as one of the Premier League's most exciting talents, Kudus attracted serious interest from the West London club. Chelsea advanced to the stage of agreeing personal terms with the player, yet ultimately failed to complete the transfer.

According to reports from The Athletic, Chelsea's final proposal worth €46 million plus midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was formally rejected by West Ham. The negotiation ultimately collapsed despite Chelsea's efforts to finalize the deal ahead of the Club World Cup, paving the way for Tottenham to secure his signature.
