Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a £55m fee with West Ham to sign their Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus. The former Ajax man is now set to have a medical before signing a long-term contract with them. According to reports the Hammers had rejected an initial £50m but a deal has now been clinched.
Kudus, who has an £85m release clause, joined West Ham in a £38m deal from Ajax in 2023. So far, has made 65 Premier League appearances for the club, scoring 13 goals and providing nine assists. At least six top clubs have enquired about Kudus in recent weeks but the 24-year-old had prioritised a move to Spurs.
Kudus was often utilised up front by Potter and seldom featured wide on the right, arguably his best position, but one in which West Ham already have captain Jarrod Bowen. Tottenham went for the player after their search for Eberechi Eze was cut short by their rival Arsenal.
