Tottenham Secures Kudus in Historic £55m Deal

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a £55 million deal to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United, with the Ghanaian international set for a medical and expected to sign a six-year contract. The transfer is notable as the first between Spurs and West Ham since 2011. Kudus, who attracted interest from Chelsea and Newcastle, prioritized a move to Tottenham due to his attacking versatility across multiple forward roles. The signing is seen as a major step in new manager Thomas Frank’s squad rebuild after Spurs' Europa League win and Champions League qualification. West Ham accepted the lower offer to fund a youth-focused rebuild under Graham Potter. Bryan Mbeumo, previously targeted by Spurs, now appears set for a transfer to Manchester United.
