It will be interesting to see if Tottenham come back with an improved offer to sign him. They need a quality attacker like him, and Kudus should prove to be an excellent acquisition.
He has impressed with his technical attributes since joining the Premier League, and even though his end product was quite mediocre last season, he is a tremendous talent with a bright future. Joining a big club could be ideal for him, and playing alongside quality players might bring out the best in him.
Spurs need a versatile attacker like him who will be able to help them going forward. It remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with West Ham.
Tottenham do not have amicable terms with their London rivals, and the two clubs have not worked on a transfer for over a decade. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
West Ham will not want to lose a key player like him for cheap, and Tottenham do not have a history of paying over the odds. The two clubs will have to come to a compromise in order for the move to go through.
The 24-year-old will look to take the next step in his career, and joining a Champions League club would be exciting for him. Tottenham managed to win a European trophy last season, and they have secured Champions League qualification. Kudus will certainly hope to fight for trophies with them.
He will feel that this is the right time for him to move on from West Ham. The hammers were quite poor last season, and they finished in the bottom half of the table. Although Tottenham had a similar season in the league, they did manage to win a trophy, and there is no doubt that they have a better team and a better manager at their disposal.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
