According to Football Transfers via GOAL, Premier League rivals Arsenal have advantage over Chelsea in race to sign Ajax star Mohamed Kudus.

The report adds that Kudus has expressed a preference to join Arsenal over Chelsea this summer, with Champions League football a prominent factor in his decision.

Chelsea’s lack of European football due to our 12th-placed finish last season appears to be a major stumbling block to any deal for Kudus.

Arsenal are keen on signing the Ajax star but they need to offload a number of fringe players first, having already signed Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber this summer.

Manchester United are also reportedly interested in signing the Ghanaian international.

Kudus is reported to have told Ajax that he intends to leave the club this summer and he is valued at around £40m ($51m) by the Dutch giants.

The 22-year-old has made 84 appearances for Ajax, scoring 23 goals and laying on 11 assists.
