Karren Brady has condemned Mohammed Kudus after his West Ham exit.
Kudus, 25, left West Ham for Tottenham earlier in the summer and has already made a positive impression on the North London faithful.
This has seen the Ghana international shine under Thomas Frank, something which has come as a surprise to many at the London Stadium.
With that being said, the often criticised West Ham vice-chairman Brady hasn’t been shy about speaking out in a negative fashion about the sale of Kudus after his Premier League debut in N17.

There is no hiding away from the fact that West Ham were dreadful against Sunderland and were highly deserving of their 3-0 defeat.

This just highlighted how difficult a job Graham Potter has on his hands with the Irons, especially after such a frustrating transfer window.
With just four fresh faces coming in, it highlights how much of a blow it was to lose the ex-Ajax man, especially to a local rival.
This hasn’t been made better by Kudus’ first league outing at Spurs, where he grabbed two assists in a 3-0 win against Burnley.
Regardless of this, Brady spoke out on talkSPORT (17 August, 10:13am) to share the reason why the Hammers moved the Ghanaian on, and she isn’t one for holding back.
She said: “It’s always difficult to lose players you want to keep, but the financial restraints and the PSR and all the rules and regulations in football mean you have to do some trading, that’s just the way it is.
“All clubs are having to do it. You’re either restricted on what you can buy because you have to be careful of the financial rules, or you have to sell to try and buy.
“That was the decision that was made. He [Kudus] didn’t have a particularly good season for West Ham last year by his own standards, so we looked to move on.”
Kudus was poor for West Ham before exit
Although many members of the claret and blue faithful may not like to hear it, Brady is spot on with her examination of the 25-year-old.
After having a genuinely positive first season in the Premier League under David Moyes, the Ghana star was genuinely terrible for the most part last campaign.
As a result, bringing in upwards of £55million does look to be an excellent business, regardless of whether the attacking midfield succeeds with Spurs.
Kudus signed for West Ham from Ajax for £38m
The versatile attacker contributed to 20 goals in his first season
His output fell by 11 goals in his second year to just nine goals and assists
Despite this, the Irons managed to secure a £17m profit from Tottenham
The general feeling from some supporters was that this was a positive move, with Martin Allen describing Kudus’ sale as “great news”, summing up the general feeling.
With that in mind, fans can’t truly go against what Brady is saying this time around, as the former Nordsjaelland man struggled at the London Stadium.
