Tottenham table £50m Mohammed Kudus bid with West Ham star ready to prioritise arch rivals amid Chelsea interest

Tottenham Hotspur tabled a bid worth £50million ($68m) for Mohammed Kudus but West Ham have reportedly rejected it. Spurs, however, will return with a fresh bid soon as they have made the Ghanaian their number one priority in the transfer market after getting Thomas Frank’s approval. Kudus wants to join the North London side this summer despite interest from Chelsea.

According to The Athletic, the Hammers received a £50m bid for their star player from Spurs but they have rejected the offer. Kudus’ current contract runs until 2028 and the player reportedly has a release clause of £80m for European clubs, £85m for Premier League teams and £120m for Saudi clubs.

The report also adds that Kudus is keen on moving to the North London club after holding positive talks with the club. He has made up his mind to join the Spurs, despite strong interest from giants Chelsea. Other than the two London clubs, Kudus has also attracted interest from Manchester United and Newcastle United.

Fabrizio Romano reports that despite the initial rejection from West Ham, Spurs are expected to come up with a fresh bid for the 24-year-old as they are determined to sign him after getting the green signal from new manager Thomas Frank.

Spurs stars will report back to the club by next week before they play their first pre-season friendly against Reading on July 19.
