Na heavy tori for Premier League transfer market o! Tottenham Hotspur don grab West Ham United star player, Mohammed Kudus, for £55 million deal wey dem seal on July 9, 2025. Dis na di first time wey player dey move straight from West Ham to Tottenham since Scott Parker comot for 2011, and e don scatter dat silent agreement wey dey between di two London rivals. Dis 24-year-old Ghana boy move to Tottenham na serious statement wey fit change how Spurs attack go dey under dia new coach, Thomas Frank.
Kudus wey join West Ham from Ajax for 2023 with £38 million, quick show say e no be small pikin for Premier League. For two seasons, e play 80 matches for West Ham, score 19 goals, and give 13 assists for all competitions. E fit play for right wing, left wing, attacking midfield, even as striker sef, na im make am shine pass. Even though dis 2024-25 season no too sweet for am—e score five goals and give three assists for 32 Premier League games—im first season performance don make big clubs like Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Al-Nassr dey eye am. But Kudus talk say na Tottenham e wan join, e no gree for dose oda clubs.
Di transfer no easy o. Tottenham first throway £50 million bid, but West Ham say no, dem want something near £60 million, even though Kudus get £85 million release clause for Premier League clubs. Spurs try play smart with some funny add-ons like say dem go win Premier League or Champions League, but West Ham no gree for dat kind nonsense. Still, Spurs oga, Daniel Levy, no give up, and dem finally settle for £55 million cash—correct deal for player wey get big potential. Sources like The Athletic and Fabrizio Romano confirm say Kudus go do medical on Thursday and sign six-year contract with Tottenham.
For Tottenham, dis signing na big move for Thomas Frank first transfer window as coach. Frank, wey take over from Ange Postecoglou, dey find players wey fit play different positions and bring energy. Kudus na perfect fit—e dey dribble defenders, create chances, and score better goals. E fit play right wing for West Ham, but for Ghana, e dey play No. 10, so Frank go get plenty options to arrange im attack.
But dis move don spark small wahala o. Some people, like Team Talk, talk say Kudus fit push Son Heung-min, Tottenham big star, go bench, especially if dem play Kudus for left wing wey Son dey like. Dis talk dey cause argument, but e show say Kudus go bring serious competition.
West Ham sell Kudus, even though im contract still dey till 2028, because of money wahala wey dem dey call Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Dem need cash to rebuild dia squad under new coach Graham Potter. West Ham legend Tony Cottee don shout say dem must use every kobo from di £55 million to buy new players so dem no go relegation. West Ham fans no happy at all—dem dey call di transfer “criminal” for social media, dey vex why dem sell dia star boy to rival for dat kind money. Dem don already eye Atalanta player Ademola Lookman as replacement, but dat one go cost €60 million, and e no go easy.
For Spurs, Kudus na di big fish dem catch. Dem don also sign Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel permanently, plus Japanese defender Kota Takai, but Kudus na di main man. Yahoo Sports call am di “statement signing” wey Spurs don dey find since Gareth Bale come back. But some people, like Cartilage Free Captain, dey warn say Kudus form drop small last season, so dem dey hope say e go shine under Frank.
Dis transfer get weight for Ghana too. As Ghana boy, Kudus move dey make people proud, but some dey talk about one prophecy wey warn am no to join “red” club. E be like Kudus no hear dat one, as e choose Spurs instead of Liverpool or Manchester United wey wear red. Im medical on Thursday go be big moment, and if everything go well, Spurs fans go soon see Kudus dey shine for Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Dis move no be just London-to-London transfer; e show say Tottenham wan fight for top, and West Ham dey try manage dia money wahala. As Kudus dey prepare to wear Spurs jersey, Premier League dey wait to see wetin dis Ghana star go do next.
