Mohammed Kudus is officially leaving West Ham United for Tottenham Hotspur in a £55 million deal, as revealed by Fabrizio Romano.
The Ghana international will undergo his medical in London on Thursday before signing a six-year contract with Spurs, with fellow journalist David Ornstein also confirming the deal.
Kudus Was Only Interested in Spurs
Kudus only wanted Tottenham and made that very clear throughout the process. Despite publicly stating he wouldn’t force a move, ExWHUEmployee has confirmed that Kudus submitted a formal transfer request to push it through.
It’s a massive development for West Ham, especially considering Kudus only arrived from Ajax last summer. The club had rejected an initial £50 million offer from Spurs, but a final agreement was reached this week to bring his short spell in claret and blue to an end.
Kudus Pushed for Spurs Move with Transfer Request
Fans will be surprised to learn that Kudus did in fact hand in a transfer request, according to ExWHUEmployee, despite earlier assurances he wouldn’t push for a departure. It underlines just how determined the player was to join Tottenham, who had been pursuing him all summer.
The attacking midfielder was brought in for £38 million last year and had an £85 million release clause in his contract. West Ham stood firm on their valuation and ultimately secured £55 million, representing a profit after just one season.
Mixed Impact at West Ham but Undeniable Talent
Kudus made 65 Premier League appearances for the Hammers, scoring 13 goals and assisting nine. His second season didn’t quite match the flashes of brilliance he showed early on, with just five goals to his name across all competitions.
He was often played out of his favoured role, with Jarrod Bowen preferred on the right side. Even so, Kudus led the league in attempted dribbles (195), nearly half of which were successful, showing his ability to break lines and create chaos in the final third.
Top clubs were watching closely, but Tottenham made their move first and fast.
West Ham to Reinvest Every Penny of Kudus Fee Into Squad
Club insiders including ExWHUEmployee and West Ham Football have confirmed that the full £55 million received from the Kudus sale will go straight into new signings.
“ALL the money made on the Mo Kudus deal will be used to sign new players,” reported ExWHUEmployee. “No time to waste. Let’s get some new players in who want to be here!”
It’s a clear message from inside the club: the rebuild is on, and the recruitment team have the backing they need.
Time to Move On: West Ham Must Act Fast
Losing Kudus leaves a creative gap in Graham Potter’s squad, but there’s now serious money available to fill it. With preseason already underway, the focus must quickly shift to replacements who buy into the West Ham project.
Several names are starting to surface as potential targets. With Kudus gone, the board and recruitment staff have a massive task ahead—but also the budget to make waves in the market.
Eyes on. Movement expected.
