The Ghanaian attacker’s £55million move to north London was finalised last week, and he is likely to have already wound up some Hammers fans by saying - during his first interview after joining his new club - that he “only wanted Spurs”.

In it, Spurs’ club doctor is seen telling Kudus: “I’m just going to listen to your heart, okay?”

With the stethoscope then pressed to his chest underneath a Tottenham top, the player replies: “You’ll find Spurs there.”

The clip, part of a nine-minute YouTube video released by Spurs on Monday, offers a “behind-the-scenes” look at Kudus’s first day at Hotspur Way.

Kudus spent two seasons at West Ham after joining on a five-year contract in August 2023, having previously played for Ajax since 2020.
