Tottenham, which is seeking to recruit Mohammed Kudus (West Ham), hit a rock.
West Ham rejected Tottenham's offer. Britain's BBC reported on the 6th (Korea time) that West Ham rejected Tottenham's offer to buy 50 million pounds (about 93 billion won) for the Qudus.
Ghana's national team, Qudus, wants to move to the European Champions League (UCL). Tottenham qualified for the UCL next season by winning the Europa League. West Ham are in talks with the possibility of a move for Cudus open. Tottenham's first offer, however, was rejected.
Kudus, born in 2000, 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. It has excellent dribbling and situational judgment skills with high speed.
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, want a contract for a much lower fee.

Attention is focusing on whether Tottenham and West Ham will also be able to shake off their bad relationship. The two London-based rivals have not gone ahead with a single deal since Scott Parker's move in 2011.
Cudus is a hot potato. 'BBC' is at least six top clubs have inquired about the Qudus in recent weeks, according to credible sources. Chelsea is also one of the clubs interested in the Qudus, saying 'West Ham are considering reinvesting through the sale of players to support manager Graham Potter for the first full season. It is possible to sell one of the club's best players this summer, he stressed.
Football London stressed on the 2nd that the recruitment of Cudus could be the perfect gift to welcome new head coach Thomas Frank. It has also been argued that Kudus will grow one step further if he is with coach Frank.
But Kudus is at odds with Tottenham players. 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. 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.
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.
