Tottenham considering a move for West Ham midfielder Mohammed Kudus

Tottenham Hotspur are making preparations to launch a summer bid for West Ham United’s dynamic midfielder, Mohammed Kudus. The North London club is looking to bolster its midfield options and sees Kudus as a prime candidate, according to reports from talkSPORT.

The Ghana international is reportedly open to leaving West Ham during this transfer window. His availability has sparked considerable interest from a host of top clubs, including Premier League rivals Chelsea and Newcastle United, as well as several teams from the Saudi Pro League. However, it is Tottenham who are now believed to be readying an official approach.

Kudus, who joined West Ham two years ago, has made a strong impression in English football. During his time with the Irons, he featured in 80 matches, scoring 19 goals and assisting 13 more. His technical skill, creativity, and work ethic have made him one of the standout midfielders in the Premier League, quickly drawing the attention of elite clubs across Europe and beyond.

In addition to his club performances, Kudus has been a key figure for his national team, Ghana. With 42 international caps to his name, the 24-year-old has scored 12 goals for the Black Stars, becoming an integral part of their attacking force. His ability to play in multiple midfield and attacking roles adds a level of versatility that makes him even more attractive to potential suitors.

A major factor in this developing transfer story is Kudus’ release clause. Reports indicate that he can leave West Ham during the first ten days of July for a set fee of €100 million. While this figure reflects his high value and potential, Tottenham are said to be reluctant to meet the full amount. Instead, the club hopes to negotiate a lower, more manageable fee that better fits their financial plans for the summer.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is keen to continue reshaping the squad in his vision and views Kudus as a perfect addition to the team’s midfield engine. Kudus’ pace, strength on the ball, and attacking prowess would complement Spurs’ fast-paced style and provide an additional goal-scoring threat from midfield.

With Chelsea and Newcastle still monitoring the situation closely, Tottenham will need to act swiftly if they hope to secure the Ghanaian’s signature. Competition is fierce, and the interest from Saudi Arabian clubs—with their significant financial backing—adds another layer of urgency to the negotiations.

As the summer window progresses and the July 10 deadline for the buyout clause approaches, the coming days will be crucial. Whether West Ham will entertain a negotiated fee below the €100 million clause remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Mohammed Kudus is one of the most in-demand midfielders in Europe this summer.
