Chelsea appear to be losing the race for Ajax star Mohammed Kudus who is now closer to joining Brighton.
For some Blues fans, however, this could be a blessing in disguise as they want Chelsea to go for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise instead.
SJftbI, Twitter: "Can’t lie I was never big on Kudus, as soon as Olise news dropped there’s only one dude I think we needed"
Hamza-KB, Reddit: "Something just felt off about him. Could be a really good player. But I'd prefer Olise for what we need."
Vince, Twitter: "Olise makes more sense for Chelsea than Kudus. I'm not being salty but Olise is a lot more creative. Kudus carries a goal threat but I think we want someone who can also occupy the pocket when RB overlaps and has the vision to pick a pass to open stubborn defences."
Alex Goldberg, Twitter: "I rate Kudus a lot but Olise was always my preference. I feel we still don’t have his profile in the team. His pass-creating ability is very special and he’s already applied it in the Premier League. Olise in a more dynamic Eriksen 10/right half-space role under Poch. Delicious."
JunkeyMonkey90, Reddit: "Not bothered by this as long as we secure Olise, him and Reece on the right side would be a joy to watch."
Mod, Twitter: "Kudus going to Brighton and it’s all fun and games till Manchester City somehow get to Olise before us, I’m sick of this."
Chelsea are reportedly in the lead for the 21-year-old France youth international who was a part of their academy until the age of 14.
