Chelsea still want £50m Premier League attacker to join Joao Pedro and Gittens | OneFootball

With Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro all signed or close to signed already this summer, it would be easy to assume that Chelsea are done with transfers in attacking areas.

Combine those 3 with the wealth of attacking options already available and you’ve got a real spread of players.

But according to CaughtOffside that’s not the case. In fact, the Blues may already have yet another expensive addition lined up. Rumours about Mohammed Kudus have faded away a little in recent weeks, but they’ve not gone entirely, and our writer Simon Phillips has today been writing on his SubStack that the West Ham man remains a prime target for us.

We’ve had a £50m bid turned down, and since spent more than £100m on Gittens and Joao Pedro. But clearly he’s a player we still like and think we can sign for a good price. He’s full of superb technical talent and an eye for goal, and given he’s unsettled at West Ham, we may be able to get him pretty cheap relative to his ability.

Chelsea prepared to continue crazy turnover of players

While the likes of Raheem Sterling, Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku area clearly up for sale, signing Kudus would surely mean more moves than just that. The likes of Noni Madueke played an important role last season, but would likely be available at the right price if any move for Kudus was made.

That kind of crazy turnover in terms of playing staff goes against the conventional wisdom of squad building, but we’ve seen plenty of evidence in the last couple of years that this ownership is in favour of it.
