Chelsea are prioritising a move for the Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens but have also held further talks with West Ham over Mohammed Kudus and contacted Brighton about João Pedro as they consider buying a versatile forward.
Enzo Maresca is determined to sign a right-footed left-winger and there is an expectation that Gittens will end up at Chelsea this summer. Dortmund rejected a £42m bid for the 20-year-old this month but Chelsea have agreed personal terms with the England Under-21 international and are likely to return with an improved offer. Chelsea have identified Lyon’s Malick Fofana as a potential alternative to Gittens, who is valued at £50m by Dortmund.
