Ajax sensation Mohammed Kudus seems set to disregard Chelsea’s advances, opting to join forces with West Ham, another Premier League contender.
The 23-year-old talent is on the brink of sealing a five-year agreement with the Hammers.
This lucrative £35 million ($45m) arrangement not only comprises a £3 million ($4m) add-on but also entails a 10 percent sell-on fee, as detailed by The Athletic.

In a summer that has seen the departures of Declan Rice and Manuel Lanzini, David Moyes has executed a masterful double move in the realm of transfers, securing Edson Alvarez’s signature last week.
The trend continues as it now appears that the Ghanaian star, Kudus, may soon join his former Ajax compatriot at the London Stadium.
Despite stiff competition from Chelsea and Brighton, West Ham has successfully thwarted attempts to snatch the promising midfielder.
This achievement positions Kudus to potentially form a formidable midfield duo with fellow newcomer James Ward-Prowse.
