West Ham has turned down a £50 million ($69 million) offer from Tottenham for midfielder Mohamed Kudus, according to ESPN sources. The 24-year-old has a substantial release clause of £805 million, which only Premier League teams can activate, though West Ham is open to letting him go for a lesser amount.
Kudus joined West Ham from Ajax in 2023 and has become a primary target for Tottenham’s new manager, Thomas Frank. Tottenham is likely to make a new, enhanced bid for the player. There’s also speculation on whether Chelsea will express renewed interest in Kudus, given their previous attempts to sign him when he left Ajax for West Ham.
During his time at West Ham, Kudus has played 80 matches, netting 19 goals and providing 13 assists.
Fan Take: This update is significant for soccer enthusiasts as it highlights the ongoing rivalry between top Premier League clubs to secure talent. Kudus’ potential move could reshape attacking strategies for both Tottenham and West Ham, intensifying the competition in the league.
