EXCLUSIVE: Tottenham consider bid for PL Sensational star as Eberechi Eze interest doesn’t advance
Tottenham Eye Move for West Ham Midfielder Mohammed Kudus
Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on Mohammed Kudus, with the West Ham midfielder expected to leave the London Stadium this summer.
As reported by talkSPORT last week, Kudus is among Spurs’ top transfer targets. While no official bid has been made yet, the club is actively engaged in discussions over a potential deal for the 24-year-old Ghanaian international.
Kudus impressed last season, registering five goals and three assists, and is valued by Spurs for his versatility and attacking potential. Within the club, there’s optimism that he can hit double figures for goals, especially after scoring eight Premier League goals in 2023/24.
Tottenham had also shown interest in Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth but walked away from the deal upon learning the £65 million price tag, which exceeds what they paid for Dominic Solanke. Unless that valuation drops, they’re not expected to revisit that pursuit.
The club has additionally considered Bryan Mbeumo and Eberechi Eze as possible alternatives. However, Mbeumo is focused on a move to Manchester United, with negotiations progressing.
Meanwhile, Eze would be open to joining Arsenal, should they step up their interest. Talks between Spurs and Crystal Palace for Eze remain inactive, despite admiration from the north London side.
Kudus, on the other hand, is said to be open to joining Spurs. Chelsea previously made a player-plus-cash offer, which West Ham rejected.
His potential exit could prompt West Ham to pursue replacements such as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall or Carney Chukwuemeka.
The Ghanaian also has interest from Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, who—like Spurs—believe West Ham would accept significantly less than his £120 million Saudi-specific release clause.
Should Kudus move to Tottenham, he’d become the first player to transfer directly from West Ham to Spurs since Scott Parker in 2011.
Despite mounting speculation, new West Ham manager Graham Potter is keen to keep Kudus. In May, Potter suggested that the midfielder’s inconsistent form was largely due to the team’s broader struggles, not individual shortcomings.
“He’s been working hard since we’ve been here,” Potter said. “When a team isn’t functioning well, individual performances can suffer too.
He’s giving everything, and it’s our joint responsibility—his and the coaching staff’s—to bring out his full potential.”
