Chelsea appear to be in pole position to secure an attacking midfielder in the coming weeks.

The Blues are said to be leading Arsenal and Manchester United in the race to secure the signature of an Ajax superstar.

Per The Independent, Chelsea are the club going hardest for Ajax attacker Mohammed Kudus at present.

They are in the ideal position to secure the £40 million-rated-midfielder's signature.

While United and Arsenal do retain interest, they have other priorities and may not have as much money to throw at Ajax.

Other than Moises Caicedo, Kudus is the only main midfield target for the Blues this summer.
