The way I read the developing story, Ajax aren't pissed off and wanting to punish Brighton - we did everything correctly by negotiating a price with them first.
But other teams coming in and getting into his ear (Man United/Arsenal) and Chelsea agreeing terms without putting in a bid, have...
Seems like it's all been a massive waste of everyone's time and energy! Reports about our interest started in June, so it's a long time to have been strung along.
Dutch media reporting that the 48 hour deadline that Kudus had regarding his personal terms with Brighton has expired. So, Ajax are back in control and will no longer cooperate easily / his price tag will increase.
That same flight left Biggin Hill at 08.07 this morning for Amsterdam. I assume it's taken someone or a group of people to Amsterdam for the day, for business. Hopefully it's us finalising the personal terms.
Sounds like Independente De Valle have already planned how they are spending their cut of the transfer fee! I guess this heaps on the pressure for Moises...
Chelsea are getting investigated for transactions made during the Abramovich era which could result in fines and points deductions. Maybe they will end up bottom half of the table again.

Regarding earnings, Chelsea are trying to get new players in on lower salaries - Mudryk is reportedly on £100k per week, but they were having to complete with Arsenal who had already agreed terms. Madeuke (a £29 m signing from the Dutch league this year) is reportedly on £50,000 a week.
Sports World Ghana are officially useless, reporting that after being the ones that said he was having his medical in Brighton today! Hopefully the club have someone else in the works as this seems to have been a waste of everyone's time!!
No idea on the reliability of this from Ghana saying he's flying in for his medical tomorrow.
