Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United during the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Tottenham Hotspur have failed with a third bid for the African attacker. The 24-year-old has an £85 million release clause in his contract, but West Ham are prepared to sell for a more reasonable fee.
So far, Tottenham have not presented an acceptable offer, having already failed twice. Their latest bid reportedly over the £60 million mark, which David Sullivan has dismissed. The proposal had a base fee worth £50 million and £12.5 million in add-ons It will be interesting to see if Tottenham return with another offer.
They need a versatile attacker like Kudus, who could significantly improve their squad. Although the Ghanaian international had a mediocre season with West Ham, he has the quality to compete at the highest level and could transform Tottenham’s attack. Kudus is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, creating opportunities for teammates and scoring goals himself.
Tottenham could use Kudus
The 24-year-old is a proven performer in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at Tottenham. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds. Tottenham have the financial power to get the deal done and should look to wrap up the move for Kudus quickly.
Spurs also need to improve other areas of their squad. Having brought in a quality manager like Thomas Frank, they must back him properly in the transfer market. After finishing close to the relegation zone last season, Tottenham will look to bounce back. However, they cannot do so without the right additions.
They need to add more creativity and goals to the side. James Maddison can be inconsistent, and Dominic Solanke has struggled to score week in week out since arriving from Bournemouth. The duo will need more support in the final third, and Kudus would be an ideal signing for Tottenham.
The 24-year-old West Ham attacker will look to compete at a high level as well. This is a golden opportunity for the Ghanaian international to join a big club where he will be able to experience UEFA Champions League football. It will be interesting to see if all parties can come to an agreement quickly.
