£55m is some huge cash for Mohammed Kudus, however importantly it’s LESS cash than the £65m that West Ham have been apparently demanding. Tottenham beforehand had a £50m bid rejected by West Ham, and it’s not clear whether or not “within the area of £55m” means Spurs added £5m to the bid, or if there are achievable performance-based escalators which can be included.
It’s a six 12 months contract, so Spurs are signing their new attacker for what is probably going everything of his peak years. No phrase on wages but, however contemplating he’s presently on £90k/wk at West Ham, we are able to most likely safely assume that he’s getting a wholesome pay bump along with the switch charge.
I confess to be not overly wild about this signing, however neither do I believe he’s a foul participant. I believe Kudus might be an excellent and crucial puzzle piece for Thomas Frank subsequent season, regardless of becoming a member of Spurs on the heels of a moderately lackuster 2024-25 marketing campaign.
At this price it sounds as if we’d get ultimate affirmation as quickly as tomorrow afternoon within the UK. Kudus turns into Tottenham’s second new signing of the summer time after Japanese central defender Kota Takai. Spurs have additionally made the loans of Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel everlasting this summer time.
