Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United, and they have already entered into negotiations.
According to Give Me Sport, Daniel Levy is holding direct talks to sign the 24-year-old attacker for £50 million. It will be interesting to see if West Ham are prepared to sanction his departure in the coming weeks.
The opportunity to join Tottenham will be exciting for the African, and he will look to establish himself as an important player for them. Tottenham need more quality and depth going forward, and the 24-year-old is capable of slotting into multiple attacking roles.
Spurs were quite disappointing in the league last season, and they will look to improve. A club of their stature should be pushing for Champions League qualification every season. It will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right editions during the summer transfer window.
Spurs move would be ideal
Kudus will certainly help them bounce back stronger. The opportunity to join a club in the Champions League will be hard to turn down for the player. This is the golden opportunity for him to take the next step, and he will certainly hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement. Tottenham have been linked with other attackers in recent weeks, but it appears that they are not prioritising a move for the Ghana international.
The player is well settled in English football, and he will look to make an instant impact at Tottenham. He has the physicality and technical attributes. Playing alongside quality players at Tottenham could bring out the best in him.
The attacker is still relatively young, and he could improve further with coaching and experience. He could develop into a top-class player for Tottenham. The £50 million investment could look like a bargain in future.
It will be interesting to see if West Ham are prepared to let the player leave for that fee. He has a £85 million release clause in his contract. It is fair to assume that no club will want to pay that clause, and the Hammers will have to accept a more reasonable fee.
