Brilliant £60M tipped to make big Chelsea move and be huge success

Mohammed Kudus would be a strong, forward-thinking signing for CHELSEA one that adds dynamism, creativity, and tactical versatility to a squad in transition, according to reporter Iomie Stanley.

As the Blues look to add to their squad under Enzo Maresca, signing a player of Kudus’ calibre could represent both a short-term boost and a long-term investment in attacking talent. Here’s why Kudus could be a fantastic addition to the Chelsea squad.

Stanley said: ‘Unlike many young talents linked to Chelsea, Kudus is not a gamble in terms of league adaptation. Since joining West Ham from Ajax in 2023, he has shown that he can thrive in the Premier League’s high-intensity environment.

‘In just one season, he made a mark with 13 goal contributions (including 5 league goals), despite playing in a team that largely struggled to create consistent attacking chances. His technical ability, physical strength, and flair stood out — especially in games against big teams, including a brilliant individual performance against Chelsea at the London Stadium.

‘Kudus is the kind of multi-functional attacker that modern managers covet. He is comfortable playing as a right winger, central attacking midfielder, or even as a false nine. This flexibility would give Maresca numerous options in his fluid, possession-based system. Kudus can provide cover or competition for Cole Palmer, while also rotating with the likes of Madueke, Nkunku, and even Conor Gallagher (if he stays). His presence would allow Chelsea to shift shapes and structures without sacrificing quality or cohesion.

‘One of Kudus’ standout attributes is his dribbling. He ranked among the top players in the league last season for successful take-ons and progressive carries. Chelsea have at times lacked players who can break lines with the ball at their feet, especially in tight games.

‘Kudus brings that ability in abundance, often driving through midfield or cutting in from wide areas to create chances or take shots. His goal of the season bicycle kick and several mazy runs last year proved he has the flair and explosiveness to make something out of nothing — a crucial quality at the top level.

‘At just 25 years old, Kudus still has significant room for growth. Chelsea have made a habit of signing young players with high ceilings, and Kudus fits that recruitment model. If he performs well, his value is likely to increase, especially with the spotlight of European competitions returning to Stamford Bridge. He could become a key figure in a young Chelsea core alongside Palmer, Enzo Fernández, and Moisés Caicedo.

‘If CHELSEA can secure his signature, he could quickly become one of the most influential signings of their new era.’
