After securing their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League and clinching the UEFA Conference League, Chelsea are in the middle of a busy summer transfer window.
The Blues have announced the signing of Liam Delap from Ipswich Town and have now turned their attention to other areas of the pitch that they wish to strengthen.
One of those is in the wide areas of the pitch as they look for a right-footed attacker to operate down the left wing.
While Chelsea have been linked with the likes of Alejandro Garnacho, they are also heavily linked with a move for Mohammed Kudus from West Ham.
Interestingly, they were interested in signing Kudus in the summer of 2023, but the speedster joined West Ham instead that year.
Now, the Blues have renewed their interest in the player but are looking for a way to get his price down. One of the ways they can get his price down is by organising a swap deal.

Who are the seven players that Chelsea could offer West Ham in exchange for Kudus?
With Chelsea keen to move a number of their players on, The Chelsea Chronicle reports that seven players could be sent to West Ham in exchange for Kudus.
Defenders Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile, Axel Disasi and Trevoh Chalobah have all cropped up, as well as Robert Sanchez, Carney Chukwuemeka and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
The Chelsea Chronicle reported transfer expert Greame Bailey as saying, “So, I’m told that there’s been talk with West Ham a little bit about possibly looking at Kudus and with players in exchange.”
“I believe that Chelsea were offering Sanchez and Dewsbury-Hall, but West Ham didn’t want that particularly, so yeah, that’s an interesting one.”
“Kudus, again a name who could be one to keep an eye on but obviously if it means Chelsea getting these players out. Dewsbury-Hall, we know, is someone who can go. Robert Sanchez is one who they’re willing to let go, which tells us about the goalkeeper situation.”
“West Ham, we know, were interested in Chalobah, Disasi, Tosin and Badiashile. I think two or three of them are going to leave, but I think they want money for them, especially Tosin and Chalobah, because of the pure profit. I think Chukwuemeka has been mentioned as well to West Ham.”
