The proposed deal included goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, but the Hammers valued Kudus higher than Chelsea's offer. It is understood that Kudus' contract has a buyout clause of £85m, which may be a significant factor in West Ham's decision.
Kudus, a Ghana international, has reportedly turned down offers from Saudi Arabia in favor of continuing his career in England. This suggests that the midfielder is committed to playing in the English Premier League.
