Spurs Reportedly Seek West Ham Midfielder Kudus Transfer

Tottenham Hotspur are actively pursuing West Ham midfielder Mohammed Kudus in what would be a rare direct transfer between the two London rivals, potentially marking the first such move since 2011. West Ham, constrained by financial regulations and squad restructuring under Graham Potter, appear willing to sell Kudus for around £60 million, despite his £85 million release clause, with the player reportedly open to the move. Kudus, valued for his versatility and Premier League experience, has attracted interest from other clubs including Saudi side Al-Nassr, but Spurs remain the frontrunner and see him as a key figure in their summer rebuild under Thomas Frank. Meanwhile, Tottenham and Arsenal are also competing for Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze, who has a £67.5 million release clause and is open to a move but whose club is reluctant to accept less than that amount. Spurs' pursuit of new attacking options includes consideration of other players like Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo, though financial and player preferences have complicated these potential deals. West Ham’s potential sale of Kudus is part of a broader effort to balance financial sustainability while managing squad depth and talent retention.
