Chelsea are reported to have held talks over both West Ham United’s Mohammed Kudus and Brighton & Hove Albion’s João Pedro, though manager Enzo Maresca is 'determined' to sign a new right-footed left winger.
The Blues wanted to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens before this summer’s Club World Cup—the Englishman fits Maresca's exact brief— but failed to reach an agreement with the German side. While their interest in Gittens remains, Chelsea have now begun searching for alternatives.
