Mohammed Kudus’ future at West Ham is in doubt this summer.
The Ghanaian international shone in his season in the Premier League but has struggled to hit a consistent run of form since.
With West Ham under PSR pressure this summer, sales are needed if Graham Potter is to bring in signings.
This has resulted in multiple clubs becoming interested in Kudus amid the Hammers’ vulnerable financial status, with Chelsea now submitting a bid.

The Blues are back in the Champions League next season and have just won the Europa Conference League.
Therefore, the London club are looking to splash the cash and have now seen a bid rejected for Kudus.

Kudus has not impressed at West Ham this season
According to talkSPORT (5 June), West Ham have rejected a player-plus-cash deal from Chelsea.
The London club were willing to offer Robert Sanchez and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in exchange for the Ghana international.
Kudus was wanted by Al Nassr, but the winger has rejected proposals from Saudi Arabia as he aims to stay in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old has a £85 million release clause for Premier League clubs, and the report suggests that West Ham could be “tempted into a move” for Kudus after a disappointing season.

Pottter mad to reject Chelsea bid
If Chelsea were offering cash plus Sanchez and Dewsbury-Hall for Kudus, then West Ham are insane for rejecting the bid.
The Hammers need a goalkeeper after Lukasz Fabianski’s departure from the London Stadium, and Sanchez would have been ideal.
On top of this, Dewsbury-Hall was fantastic at Leicester City last season and has shown glimpses of this quality in the Premier League at Chelsea.
With Kudus showing more and more signs that he was a one-season wonder, it is baffling how West Ham have rejected this bid.
