Tottenham is expected to sincerely recruit Mohamed Kudus.
The British Telegraph on the 30th (Korea time) 'Tottenham wants to break the 'unofficial transfer taboo' against West Ham United that has been going on for more than 10 years. The target is Kudus, who will be the first player to be recruited directly from London rival West Ham, and Tottenham is interested in recruiting Kudus.
The media reported that `Cudus has emerged as Tottenham's top target for recruitment, and the club expects to be able to sign a contract for much lower than the £85 million buyout clause, which is said to be valid only for 10 days in early July. Tottenham have also shown interest in Brian Mbormo, Antoine Semeno and Eberechi Eze, but for now, Kudus is considered the most likely recruit to reinforce the offensive team under new manager Thomas Frank.
Kudus is also familiar to Korean fans. As a member of the Ghanaian national team, he is the one who made South Korea cry at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Kudus moved to West Ham in the summer of 2023 based on his performances at the World Cup and Ajax. At West Ham, Kudus rose to prominence immediately. In his debut season, he scored eight goals and nine assists.
However, last season, as West Ham fell to near the relegation zone, Cudus' performance also fell sharply, with only five league goals and three assists. Still, dribbling and instantaneous destructive power remained.
Tottenham originally have not done a deal with West Ham since 2011. This is because the two teams share London, the capital of the United Kingdom. The Telegraph reported that if Kudus were to move to Tottenham, it would be the first direct transfer from West Ham to Tottenham since midfielder Scott Parker in 2011. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy blocked Emanuel Adebayor's move to West Ham in 2015 and noted that the two clubs have not made any deals since Parker's move.
Surprisingly, this time, West Ham are reportedly looking to clear up the Qudus. Kudus is also in a position to be open to Tottenham. How much West Ham want for the Qudus transfer fee will determine whether the transfer will be completed or not.

If Kudus is recruited, it is not good for both Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyuk. Kudus is a versatile player who can play all positions from the front line to the second line. West Ham also played center, left and right. It is a resource that can also play in place of Son Heung-min on days when he is in good condition. He can also play on the right, so it could be a big mountain for Yang Min-hyuk to overcome.
