Despite being linked with a Premier League move, particularly to Chelsea, the agent of Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus, Jennifer Mendelewitsch, has revealed why the transfer to Stamford Bridge didn't materialize.
Kudus, who had an impressive season with Ajax, caught the attention of several top clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal, and PSG.
In an interview with RMC Sport, Mendelewitsch explained that a transfer to Chelsea collapsed due to several factors, including the impact of Moises Caicedo's transfer from Brighton and PSG's choice not to pursue Kudus.
Mendelewitsch expressed her belief that Kudus would have been a suitable profile for PSG.
She revealed that an agreement was reached with Chelsea, and personal terms were agreed, but the deal ultimately didn't come to fruition.
"He [Kudus] wanted to leave, there weren’t 50,000 clubs who needed a midfielder and could afford him.
"Obviously, we offered him his profile at PSG. Now, it’s the club’s choice not to not move forward. All clubs have the right to decide that they go to another profile or that it is not their priority."
"It’s a shame because I think Mohammed Kudus would have been a suitable profile," Mendelewitsch added.
"We reached an agreement with Chelsea, we agreed contractually with Chelsea but the deal did not happen.
"He spoke with the coach [Pochettino] but in the end it didn’t happen.
