Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United.

The 24-year-old has joined the north London club on a long-term contract, for a reported fee of £54.5 million.

Kudus is the fifth player through the door at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer, as the club begin their newest era under Thomas Frank.

Kudus follows the arrivals of Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso - who both signed permanently after loans last season - as well as centre-backs Luka Vuskovic and Kota Takai.

"I have always wanted to play at the highest level," Kudus told the club’s official website. "It is a big moment, I am happy to be here and can’t wait to start."

Kudus said he was swayed to move to Spurs by the prospect of working under Frank.

He said: "The most important part about why I have come here is the project and how the manager sees I can develop under him.

"Where he has come from and seen the amount of talent he has developed to become great players, it is a big sign of why I wanted to work under him."

After joining West Ham from Ajax in 2023, Kudus made 80 appearances for The Hammers and scored 19 goals, providing 13 assists. In the Premier League, Kudus has racked up 25 goal contributions in 65 matches.

As a Ghana international, the attacking midfielder has represented his country 42 times, scoring 12 goals.

It is reported that Kudus has signed a six-year deal and Spurs have confirmed that he will wear the No. 20 shirt for the 2025/26 season.

Despite the arrival of Kudus, who currently ranks as the club's fourth most expensive transfer of all time - and the most expensive Ghanian player in history - Tottenham's summer business looks far from over as they prepare for a return to the UEFA Champions League.

On Thursday, reports emerged linking the club with a move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White in a £60m move after triggering his release clause.

The England international is reportedly set to undergo a medical on Friday before making the switch.
