Tottenham Hotspur appear to have refuted suggestions that they’re out of the race to sign West Ham winger Mohammed Kudus.
It had been assumed that Spurs’ pursuit of Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey signalled the end of their interest in the Ghanaian, but that no longer seems to be the case.
Breaking reports now suggest that Tottenham remain firmly in the mix, with a West Ham source telling Claret & Hugh: “It could happen.”

Earlier today, social media was awash with speculation that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is ready to ditch his long-standing, self-imposed policy of not dealing with West Ham. If true, that could open the door to a rare bit of business between the London rivals.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is ready to deal with West Ham
The Hammers are desperate to generate funds from outgoing transfers to kickstart what has been a painfully slow summer window. Interest in the 24-year-old Kudus has been far more subdued than hoped, with most of the early suitors having dropped out.
Still, there now appears to be a renewed sense of optimism—at least externally—that a deal might be possible. As for West Ham, it’s clear they’ve not given up hope of selling Kudus, even if it means doing business with Tottenham.
One to watch.
