Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca has stated that he knows West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus since the player was at Ajax.
Maresca said this while refusing to confirm Chelsea’s interest in Kudus.
Recall that Chelsea, alongside Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, are among the Premier League clubs interested in signing the 24-year-old.
The Ghanaian international has been linked with a move away from West Ham this summer transfer window.
The Hammers recently turned down Chelsea’s approach for Kudus.
Kudus joined West Ham from Dutch giants Ajax two years ago.
However, speaking to reporters after Chelsea defeated Palmeiras 2-1 in the Club World Cup on Saturday, Maresca said of Kudus amid reports linking his team to sign the player: “He is a West Ham player so I can’t say nothing.
“The only thing I can say is I know Kudus since Ajax.”
