It is controversial that Tottenham is seeking to recruit Mohamed Kudus (West Ham), who hit 'big accident' as an alternative resource for Son Heung-min.

The British newspaper Football London reported on the 2nd (Korea time) that the recruitment of the Qudus could be the perfect gift to welcome the new head coach, Thomas Frank. Kudus, a Ghanaian national team member, moved his nest from Ajax, Netherlands, to West Ham in August 2023.

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.




Born in 2000, however, he has potential. In particular, it is a multi-resource that can cover the entire position of the attack. He also has excellent dribbling and situational judgment skills with fast speed. `Football London``.

While the transfer negotiations are known to be positive, attention is also being paid to whether Tottenham and West Ham will end. The two teams are rivals based in London. After the 2011 transfer of Scott Parker, no deal was struck.

Qudus has a buyout clause of 85 million pounds (about 158.5 billion won). This clause is valid for the first 10 days of July. Tottenham, of course, are hoping to complete the deal with a much lower fee. It is predicted that an agreement could be reached at around 30 million pounds (about 56 billion won).

But Kudus is a relief for Tottenham players. Tottenham clashed with West Ham in the eighth round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season in October last year. It was a game in which Son Heung-min temporarily returned from injury.

Kudus was the man who scored the first goal. He shook Tottenham's net in the 18th minute. But West Ham's joy did not last long. Dejan Kulusevski scored the equalizer in the 36th minute of the first half.

Tottenham properly enjoyed the effect of Son Heung-min's return in the second half. Son Heung-min was the starting point in the 7th minute of the second half. His outfront pass to break down the sub-line was connected to Destiny Udoji. Udoji's cutback was scored by Ives Bissouma with his right foot. Son Heung-min led his own goal in the 10th minute of the second half and scored a net five minutes later.




However, it became controversial that Qudus could not endure the 38th minute of the second half and went beyond the violence to 'Terrorism'. He struggles with a fallen Mickey van der Penn kicked in the back. As Van der Penn rose and became enraged, Kudus slapped him in the face. The pen fell down.

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.

What was more meaningful was the referee's 'initial response'. He tried to put an end to the 'evastation' if he warned Van der Penn and Kudus at the same time. Fortunately, the VAR (video reading) referee took over the referee, and the exit was ordered after an on-field review.

Qudus apologized after admitting to the act of violence, saying he was `shameful' without requesting a hearing. In addition to three games following his exit, he was suspended for an additional two games. A fine of 60,000 pounds (about 111.8 million won) was also imposed.

It seems that there is no eternal enemy on the ground.
