Tottenham Hotspur could be set for a major boost with one of their key transfer targets eager to leave his club this summer.
The North London club will hope their transfer business can start to accelerate over the coming days, with just eight days until their first pre-season match.
Thomas Frank has already welcomed his squad back to Hotspur Way, with Kota Takai and Mathys Tel the only new additions so far.
But that could soon change with a key target making it clear that he is ready to leave following transfer talks with Tottenham Hotspur.
Mohammed Kudus is desperate to leave West Ham
Mohammed Kudus is now ‘absolutely determined’ to leave West Ham United this summer, according to The Athletic.
Kudus is keen to join Tottenham, who remain locked in talks with the Hammers over a deal for the attacker.
As TBR Football exclusively revealed, Kudus rejected an approach from Bayern Munich, as he wants to remain in the Premier League and is focused on a move to Spurs.
Tottenham had a third bid for Kudus rejected by the East London club, who were left unhappy with the add-ons being offered to them.
Spurs wanted to pay £50m plus £12.5m in add-ons, which were based around them winning the Premier League and Champions League.
The Ghanaian has just returned for pre-season training at Rush Green as he waits for the two clubs to try and reach an agreement.
At this stage, Chelsea are unlikely to move for Kudus, despite having shown an interest in bringing him to Stamford Bridge earlier this summer.
Mohammed Kudus has already proved he’s perfect for Tottenham
Kudus’ message when he first joined the Hammers was clear: He wanted to ‘entertain’ the fans.
That will be music to the ears of Spurs’ supporters who love watching entertaining players, something which is deeply rooted in their DNA.
When asked to describe himself as a player, Kudus told Iron Cast: “I like to entertain the fans as I think that is what football is about, and my dribbling ability, strength and finishing also. I’m just here to do my best to help the team. The fans should expect some entertainment!”
Kudus is a player who plays with very little fear and who loves to run at defenders with the ball. As per WhoScored, Kudus has completed more dribbles than any other Premier League player since the start of the 2023/24 season.
