Tottenham willing to ‘test the waters’ for £85m West Ham star; £50m lowball offer on the table

That means Spurs might have to cash-in on some of the underperforming players to generate funds for new signings. This might just be a blessing in disguise as a lot of players have overstayed their welcome at N17. Daniel Levy now has the chance of backing Thomas Frank in the summer and bringing in new players as the Dane looks to close the gap on rivals next season.

Tottenham aiming to bring in West Ham star Mohammed Kudus

Tottenham have time and again tried to bolster their attack as they look to compete with other top clubs in the Premier League and in Europe. This summer isn’t different at all, as Daniel Levy intends to sign a quality attacker to revitalize the forward line under Thomas Frank. With Heung-Min Son heading towards a potential exit in the coming weeks, Spurs are looking to bring in a replacement before next season starts.

As per the Guardian, Spurs are interested in signing Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United. The Ghana international has taken the Premier League by storm following his switch from Ajax in 2023. Now, the Lilywhites are aiming to land the 24-year-old at N17 as they look to strengthen their attack for next season. It is believed that Kudus is also interested in a move if the right project comes along his way.

However, the aforementioned report also states that the West Ham star has an £85m release clause in his contract. The Hammers are in no pressure to sell the 24-year-old in the summer, despite enduring a dismal Premier League season. It is also believed that Daniel Levy has started contacts with the East London club by ‘testing the waters’ and putting in a £50m lowball offer.

Signing Mohammed Kudus might elevate the Spurs attack to a different level. He will also thrive in Thomas Frank’s system as the Danish tactician prefers his winger to invert in and play as number tens while maintaining possession. The chance to play Champions League football might also lure the Ghana international to N17. But bringing in Kudus might mean that Brennan Johnson might lose out his place in the starting eleven on the right flank.

The 24-year-old is a good addition to the squad if Spurs can get the asking price low in the coming weeks. Kudus like to dribble in tight spaces and he thrives in half-spaces between the defensive line and the midfield. His ability to turn quickly with the ball and create space for himself is world-class. The Ghana international also likes to link-up with the striker and he tends to retain the ball well under pressure.
