If I win, I'll give you money? Do you call this a horse? West Ham, annoyed by Tottenham's brazen offer, likely to drop plans to sell Cuds

Tottenham Hotspur continue to be shunned in the summer transfer window. Although he planned to reinforce the side striker, he is expected to become empty-handed in the end as he continues to go against the line. Following the frustration of the recruitment of Brian Mbomo and Antoine Semeno, the attempt to recruit Mohamed Kuds from West Ham is also expected to go up in smoke.
This is because Tottenham has sent such a brazen offer. It imposed unrealistic deposit conditions for as much as 10 million pounds (about 18.6 billion won) of the transfer fee offered to recruit Kuds. It's so deceptive that West Ham have turned the board upside down.
British media TBR Football reported on the 8th (Korea Standard Time) 'Tottenham is unlikely to recruit a player worth 62 million pounds (about 115.4 billion won) due to abnormal behavior committed by Chairman Daniel Levy' and that Tottenham will fail again in the summer transfer market.
Tottenham continue to fail in the transfer window. Chairman Levy and new manager Thomas Frank originally tried to recruit the winger in this transfer market. Son Heung-min, who won the Europa League in the 2024-2025 season, was released from the transfer market and was looking for young and capable players to fill the position.
But nothing goes according to plan. First of all, Son Heung-min's future is not clear. Three Saudi Arabian professional teams, Turkiye Fenerbahce, and U.S. Major League Soccer LA FC are reported to be seeking to recruit Son Heung-min, but Son has not made any moves. The possibility of staying has increased considerably.

Tottenham turned to Bournemouth's Semeno when Mbomo was not available. However, the attempt to recruit him was also concluded to be a failure. The current team Bournemouth officially announced that it has signed a long-term contract with Will Semeno until the summer of 2030.
In a hurry, Tottenham are now aiming for West Ham winger Mohammed Kuds in third place. But this is also likely to fail. This is because Bournemouth are tired of Tottenham's ridiculous proposal.
TBR Football says: 'Tottenham want Qudus but can't reach an agreement with West Ham. West Ham is not even considering selling Cudus. It then quoted Dean Jones, who hosts the Ranked FC Ultras podcast, as saying that "'West Ham are perplexed by Tottenham's recent strategy of recruiting a striker'

TBR FOOTBALL has sent an offer of £50 million (about W93.1 billion) plus an additional £12 million option to buy Cudus, according to Jones. However, the terms of payment for a whopping £10 million out of the £12 million optioned left West Ham leaders baffled.
If you listen to the content, it's almost like playing West Ham. Jones said 'Tottenham made a really ridiculous suggestion. According to internal sources, Tottenham have offered an additional £12 million transfer fee for £50 million. However, £10 million of this was an additional fee incurred when the result of winning the English Premier League (ELP) and the UEFA Champions League came out. Jones said, `If Tottenham win the EPL, they will pay £5 million, and if they win the Champions League, they will pay an additional £5 million to West Ham.
In other words, if Tottenham did not win the EPL and did not win the Champions League, it would not have to give them an option of £10 million. It is no different from a trick to recruit Kudus for just 52 million pounds. In fact, it is very likely that Tottenham will not win the EPL or the Champions League. In the end, he offered to pay £10 million more, but he put on a condition that he could not actually pay.
It is difficult for West Ham to accept such a proposal. You may feel like you're being played around. It is safe to say that there is virtually no one or club to continue negotiations under these conditions.
This absurd transfer proposal came from Chairman Levi 'Salty' He tried to save a little on the transfer fee, but he ended up not having any choice. Tottenham will likely be called the loser of the transfer window this summer because of Levy's ill-advised strategy.
