Arsenal appear poised to beat Chelsea in the race to sign Mohamed Kudus from Ajax this summer.
According to Football Transfers, Kudus has expressed a preference to join Arsenal over Chelsea this summer, with Champions League football a prominent factor in his decision. The Blues have been linked with a swoop for the Ghana international but their 12th-placed finish last season appears to be a major stumbling block to any deal.
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.
