According to Football Transfers, Kudus has stated that he would like to join Arsenal over Chelsea this summer, with participation in the Champions League playing a significant role in his choice. The Blues have been mentioned as potential suitors for the Ghanaian international, but any move seems to be severely hampered by their 12th-place result from the previous campaign. Despite having already signed Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber this summer, Arsenal has to let go of a few marginal players before they can pursue Kudus. There are rumours that Manchester United is also competing.
Kudus is reportedly planning to leave Ajax this summer and is valued at roughly £40 million ($51 million) by the Dutch powerhouses. The 22-year-old has made 84 appearances for Ajax and has contributed 11 assists along with 23 goals.
