Mohammed Kudus Set for Potential West Ham Exit Amid Tottenham Hotspur Interest
Mohammed Kudus could be on the move again this summer, with reports indicating that Tottenham Hotspur are stepping up their pursuit of the West Ham United winger. After a mixed campaign at the London Stadium, the Ghana international appears open to a fresh start — and Spurs, alongside Chelsea, are keen to offer him that opportunity.
The 24-year-old arrived from Ajax last summer with high expectations, but his first season in English football proved to be inconsistent. Kudus managed just five goals and three assists across 32 Premier League appearances — a significant drop-off from his final Eredivisie campaign, where he tallied an impressive 14 goal contributions in 33 matches.
While his explosive dribbling, creative flair, and ability to play across the frontline were evident in flashes, Kudus struggled to find sustained form in a West Ham team that ultimately laboured to a disappointing 14th-place finish. His underwhelming impact, when contrasted with the £38 million fee West Ham paid for him, has sparked debates over whether he fits into Graham Potter’s long-term vision — assuming the manager stays beyond the summer.
Tottenham Pushing for Kudus Deal as Talks Progress
A major development has now come from Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, who revealed on July 6 that negotiations between West Ham and Tottenham are progressing steadily. The winger’s representatives, ROOF agency, are reportedly leading the talks on his behalf. Notably, Kudus is said to be open to the switch, with Tottenham eager to strike a deal and bolster their attacking options.
Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou is believed to be a long-time admirer of Kudus, whose versatility and dynamism could provide a fresh spark to the North London club’s frontline. With European competition on the horizon for Tottenham and a desire to rotate attacking options, the Ghanaian could become an important piece in Postecoglou’s evolving project.
West Ham Ready to Cash In to Fund Summer Overhaul
From West Ham’s perspective, a deal in the region of £60 million could be too good to turn down. With chairman David Sullivan and the board eyeing a major rebuild after a lacklustre season, the funds from Kudus’ sale would provide Potter with much-needed financial firepower.
Selling Kudus could pave the way for multiple new signings. Reinforcements are especially needed at the back, and names like Taylor Harwood-Bellis from Manchester City and Leeds United’s Charlie Cresswell have been mentioned as potential targets to strengthen the defensive unit.
The Irons also need to refresh their attacking department. Despite Kudus’ raw talent, his inconsistency last season means his departure wouldn’t be seen as a devastating blow — especially if it enables the club to add more reliable and productive forwards to ease the pressure on Jarrod Bowen, who carried much of the attacking burden last term.
Kudus Wants a New Challenge as Exit Appears Inevitable
With Kudus reportedly ready to leave and West Ham open to offers, all signs point to a summer departure. Though the club may have hoped for a greater return on their initial investment, a sale now could prove beneficial for both the player and the team.
Kudus, who is still young and brimming with potential, may thrive in a more structured and attacking setup like Tottenham’s. Whether it is Ange Postecoglou or potentially Thomas Frank — who has also been loosely linked — that ends up working with Kudus, the general consensus is that the Ghanaian winger won’t be donning West Ham colours when the 2025/26 season kicks off.
In the end, this could be a deal that suits all parties: West Ham cash in and retool, Spurs get a talented attacker, and Kudus earns a clean slate to rediscover his best form.
