In a surprising twist, Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus has made headlines by arriving at Chelsea to finalize a transfer that few saw coming. The unexpected move to Stamford Bridge has quickly become one of the most talked-about developments of the 2025 summer transfer window.
Kudus, who impressed with standout performances at West Ham United last season, had been on the radar of top clubs across Europe. However, a move to Chelsea was not widely anticipated. Sources reveal that the deal was negotiated in secret, with an agreement reached just days prior to his arrival in London.
Earlier today, fans were caught off guard when Kudus was spotted at Chelsea’s training facility. The club has since confirmed that the Ghanaian international is undergoing medical tests, and the final stages of the deal are being completed. An official announcement is expected within 24 hours.
At just 23, Kudus is known for his technical skills, creativity, and tactical flexibility. Capable of playing as a winger, central midfielder, or false nine, he is seen as a valuable addition to Enzo Maresca’s squad as Chelsea looks to strengthen its attacking and midfield depth.
Speaking briefly outside the Cobham Training Centre, Kudus shared his enthusiasm: “Chelsea is one of the world’s top clubs. I’m thrilled to start this new journey and give my all for the team and fans.”
The transfer is reportedly valued at around £60 million, though specific terms, including bonuses, remain under wraps.
Chelsea’s bold summer signings show their determination to reestablish themselves as contenders both in the Premier League and in Europe. The arrival of Kudus is a strong statement of intent as the club aims for a return to the top.
Now, attention turns to how quickly Kudus can adapt to his new environment—and whether this surprise move will become one of the defining transfers of the season
