According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, talks to sign Mohammed Kudus have stalled, and Tottenham Hotspur are currently facing a roadblock in their pursuit of the 24-year-old West Ham United attacker.
Kudus has been a key player for West Ham and could be a valuable addition to Tottenham’s squad. Spurs need a dynamic attacker who can play across multiple roles in the final third, and Kudus would offer both goals and creativity. This could be a golden opportunity for the Ghanaian international to join a bigger club and compete for major honours.
Tottenham won a European trophy last season, and it will be interesting to see if they return with a revised offer to secure Kudus. Previous bids for the player have been rejected by the Hammers.
Kudus is entering the peak years of his career, and this could be the ideal time for Tottenham to sign him. With proper coaching and experience, he has the potential to develop into a key player for the club. Tottenham would represent a step up in his career, and the former Ajax attacker is reportedly keen for the two clubs to reach an agreement.
However, West Ham are bitter rivals of the North London club, and they will be reluctant to let one of their star players leave easily. The East London outfit are expected to demand a significant fee. While his release clause was initially set at £85 million, West Ham are now prepared to consider offers around £60 million.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham are willing to meet that valuation. Spurs were underwhelming in the final third in the 2024/25 season and clearly need more firepower. In addition to a dynamic forward like Kudus, they should also look to invest in a reliable centre-forward this summer.
The North London outfit struggled to score goals consistently last season, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch if they want to fight for a place in the top four and do well in the domestic competitions.
