There's never been an eternity in the ground. Bad actor Mohamed Qudus (25) has entered Tottenham.
Tottenham announced the signing of Kudus on the 11th (Korea time). The contract period is until June 2031, six years. The transfer fee is 55 million pounds (about 102.5 billion won).
Tottenham and West Ham are rivals based in London. Since his transfer to Scott Parker in 2011, he has not progressed a single deal. Kudus has opened a new chapter amid backlash from West Ham fans.
West Ham rejected Tottenham's first offer of 50 million pounds (about 93 billion won). He demanded 60 million pounds (about 112 billion won), but found a point of contact at 55 million pounds. West Ham needed recruitment funds to replace players leaving the team due to the expiration of their contracts, including full-back Aaron Cresswell and striker Michael Antonio.
Qudus wrote on Tottenham's website, "I've always wanted to play at the highest level"It's a really important moment, the size of the club, the history and the Champions League. I'm so happy. I can't wait to be with you" he said.
Ghana's national team Qudus 'all-in' on the transfer of coach Thomas Frank to 'New Tottenham' European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, who is synonymous with "Here We Go" on the 6th, said, "Cudus only wants to join Tottenham." "I am not considering any other club at all now..
He wanted to move to the European Champions League (UCL), and Tottenham qualified for the UCL next season by winning the Europa League.

Kudus moved his nest from Ajax, Netherlands, to West Ham in August 2023. The transfer fee was 38 million pounds (about 71 billion won). In his first season, he made a soft landing on the English stage with 14 goals and nine assists in 45 appearances in all competitions. However, in the 2024-2025 season, he only scored five goals and four assists in 35 games.
However, he is a multi-resource that can cover the entire position of the attack. The preferred optimal position is right wing forward. He has excellent dribbling and situational judgment skills with fast speed.
Qudus has a buyout clause of 85 million pounds (about 159 billion won). This clause is valid for the first 10 days of July. Tottenham wanted to complete the deal with a low fee.
However, Tottenham players do not have good feelings with Kudus. He was controversial for his violent behavior in the 38th minute of the second half against Tottenham in October last year. Kudus struggles with a fallen Mickey van der Penn on the ball kicked in the back. As Van der Penn rose and became enraged, Kudus slapped him in the face.
Kudus, who lost his composure, also collided with the running Hishali Song in the process of turning around. Hishalisson lay down next to the pen, and the atmosphere became more grim. It wasn't the end. Kudus also hit Papesar in the face protesting with his arms. I didn't care about the restraint of my West Ham colleagues.
Cudus, who received a 'red card', was suspended for two more games for violent acts in addition to three games following his exit. A fine of 60,000 pounds (about 111.8 million won) was also imposed.

Considering this, Tottenham produced separate scenes of shaking hands with Kudus and Van der Penn, along with the explanation that 'make up with each other and forget about each other'. However, there was a rather uncomfortable scene in which Van der Penn was embarrassed. It was 'Edit the Devil'.
Kudus expected to grow up to the next level with Frank. He stressed that `When you look at where Frank came from and how much talent he developed to become a great player, it becomes clear why I want to be coached by him.'
If Son Heung-min stays at Tottenham, he can coexist with Kudus. Son Heung-min's contract will end after the 2024-2025 season, but Tottenham activated a one-year option earlier this year. The contract period was extended by one year until June 2026.
The course of action is still in the fog. Son Heung-min said last month "For now, the contract period remains. You have to wait rather than say something. Like many people, I'm curious about my future. We have to wait and see what happens in the future. No matter where you are, you have to do your best and try. I'll do my best to prepare well.'

There are many theories that are not real, but rumors of transfers to MLS (major league soccer), Saudi Arabia, and Turkiye are being raised. Son Heung-min, who left the country on the 10th, plans to meet with coach Frank after joining Tottenham. There is a high possibility that they will decide their future course of action after the interview.
Tottenham have signed Kevin Danso and Matisse Tell, who are on loan this summer. Kudus is his fourth recruit after Japanese center back Kota Takai.
