West Ham United want Tottenham Hotspur to become more realistic over the payment terms on their offers for Mohammed Kudus, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.
A move for Kudus appears to be one of Tottenham's priorities after making a bid to secure the West Ham attacker. With Thomas Frank now through the door, attention has turned to bringing in new additions for the former Brentford manager as they look to improve on a disappointing season domestically.
Spurs qualified for the Champions League during the 2024/2025 campaign after winning the Europa League, so reinforcements will be necessary to deal with Europe's elite club competition. Mathys Tel was the first senior addition through the door, with his loan move from Bayern Munich turning into a permanent deal.

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, West Ham want Tottenham to become more realistic over the payment terms on their recent offers for Kudus, with the two clubs yet to agree a fee on a potential deal. Their latest proposal included payment triggers totalling in the region of £10m, to be met only if Tottenham were to win the Premier League or Champions League, seen as unrealistic.

The Hammers are already frustrated with their London rivals about how their valuation of the Ghanaian international isn't being taken seriously. West Ham have hope that Chelsea will also come to the table for Kudus with a cash offer for the forward, rather than a player swap proposal.
Kudus' versatility could make him a useful option for Frank, with the West Ham attacker capable of playing in multiple positions in the front line. Whether Tottenham can get a deal over the line remains to be seen, but they might have to be a little more realistic with some of their payment terms if they want to convince Graham Potter's side to part ways in the summer transfer window.
