Mohamed Kudus (25, West Ham), a wing striker proven in the English Premier League (EPL), signed a 'OK' to Tottenham, a local transfer expert said.
Fabrizio Romano, known for his "Here We Go", said on the 6th (local time) that the "Cudus" are not currently in any conversation with other teams. He has already expressed his desire to join the Tottenham project, saying that he only wants to transfer to Tottenham. Negotiations between Tottenham and West Ham clubs are expected to continue, he said.
He then emphasized again that `Cudus' clear intention to join Tottenham'
Tottenham, which replaced former coach Engie Postecoglou and appointed former Brentford coach Thomas Frank as its new coach, is seeking to recruit Ghana's national winger Kudus for the purpose of strengthening its attack. Brentford student Brian Mbomo has been targeted as the number one target, but with the current atmosphere, Mbomo is likely to choose Manchester United.
According to British Sports Radio Talk Sports, Tottenham offered a transfer fee of 50 million pounds (about 93.2 billion won) earlier this month, but it was rejected by West Ham. The British daily 'Guardian' cost Kudus 85 million pounds (about 158.5 billion won) in a buyout, but West Ham is likely to accept about 60 million pounds (about 112 billion won), which is lower than the buyout, to solve financial problems.

"West Ham, which must rebuild its squad without breaking the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules, is likely to sell its players to Tottenham if it offers them enough money." I have long recognized that the sale of the Qudus is the best way to raise funds to strengthen the decrepit squad.'"
Considering the hostility between the two clubs, he would like to avoid a transfer to Tottenham, but he is willing to take a practical approach. If Qudus moves to Tottenham, he will be the first West Ham player to join Tottenham since Scott Parker in 2011.
Kudus quickly rose to prominence after moving from Ajax to West Ham for a fee of £37m in 2023. He played in 33 games in the league in the 2023-2024 season, his first season, and exploded with eight goals and nine assists. However, amid the continued trend of managerial change, in the 2024-2025 season, only five goals and three assists in 33 games. 'The Guardian' says`West Ham appreciate Cudus's talent, but it is uncertain whether he will fit in well with Graham Potter's system.
Tottenham must raise the transfer fee by at least £10 million to recruit Kudus. If you feel burdened by the transfer fee, there is a possibility that you will turn to another target. Tottenham are reportedly keeping an eye on Bournemouth's Antoine Semeno and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze.

Chelsea have also shown interest in signing Cudus, but have already taken other options. He invested a huge amount of money in signing Jamie Gittens (Borussia Dortmund) and João Pedro (former Brighton).
West Ham are seeking to transfer high-paid players such as Edson Alvarez, Nayef Aguerd and Niklas Fülkrug as well as Kudus.
Kudus, a left-footed counter-foot winger who mainly plays on the right, opposite Son Heung-min's main position, scored multiple goals against South Korea, which Son Heung-min belongs to, giving South Korea a 2-3 defeat in the group stage of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Kudus played 42 A matches for Ghana and scored 12 goals.
The addition of Kudus is expected to have a significant impact on Son Heung-min, who seems to be at the crossroads of withdrawal, and Yang Min-hyuk, who returned to Tottenham after a loan. If young and fast Kudus is recruited and placed on the right flank, he will have to compete with Brennan Johnson, Matisse Tell and Hishalisson for the opposite winger position. The position overlaps with Yang Min-hyuk, who is aiming to make his Tottenham debut.
