TOTTENHAM are interested in making their first signing from West Ham in 14 years.

SunSport understands Spurs are keen on Hammers star Mohammed Kudus this summer.

Kudus, 24, arrived at the London Stadium in 2023 from Ajax for a fee of £35million.

West Ham beat competition from Brighton and Hove Albion and Chelsea to snare the Ghanaian star's signature.

However, the club are open to cashing in on the attacker in order to fund their own summer rebuild for manager Graham Potter.

The Europa League winners are said to be open to breaking their "unofficial transfer embargo" to sign Kudus.

Should a transfer go through, he would be the first player to move directly to Spurs since Scott Parker in 2011.

The former England international joined the Hammers' rivals after their relegation to the Championship.

Parker was a shining light at Upton Park that season as he was named the PFA Players' Player of the Year despite the club finishing bottom.

Kudus is said to be open to the controversial transfer and has a release clause of £85m.

A move would see him return to Champions League football and play under Thomas Frank.

West Ham have yet to receive an official bid for Kudus and Spurs could face competition from Chelsea and Newcastle.

Kudus starred for the Hammers in his debut season in the Premier League.

He scored 14 goals and assisted six more across all competitions as the club finished 9th and reached the Europa League quarter-finals.

Last season, he failed to continue his electrifying performances as West Ham slumped to a 14th-placed finish.

He could only muster five goals and four assists in 35 appearances in all competitions.

Kudus has recently changed agents to the renowned sports management firm ROOF amid speculation over his future.

West Ham are yet to add to their squad this summer despite the exits of long-serving players Aaron Cresswell, Vladimir Coufal and Lukas Fabianski.

There is still uncertainty over the future of Michail Antonio with his contract set to expire.

The club's Premier League record goalscorer has not played for the club since his horror car crash in December.

But he has made his return to the pitch as he appeared for Jamaica in the 1-0 Gold Cup loss to Guatemala earlier this month.
