Tottenham have made a third bid for West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus worth over £60m, journalist Graeme Bailey has claimed.
The Europa League winners have reportedly submitted another offer to sign the ‘world-class’ attacker after seeing their first two bids rejected by West Ham.
However, their third offer, worth £50m plus £12.5m in add-ons, was also turned down, as the Hammers reportedly unsatisfied with the structure of the deal.
Kudus is believed to have informed West Ham of his desire to join Tottenham this summer and is now focused on completing a move across London.

West Ham want straight cash deal
According to Bailey, Tottenham could still strike a deal for under £60m if they present the right kind of proposal.
West Ham are understood to be holding out for a straight cash deal for the 24-year-old forward and are unlikely to accept offers heavily based on add-ons.
While the Hammers would prefer not to sell Kudus to a Premier League rival, interest from other clubs appears limited at present, with Tottenham currently the only side actively pursuing him.
Kudus is also believed to have turned down an offer from the Saudi Pro League earlier in the summer and has reportedly identified North London as his preferred destination.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Kudus scored five goals and provided three assists in 32 Premier League appearances last season.
Tottenham’s summer activity has yet to fully take off following permanent deals for Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel, though outgoings could soon fuel further moves to strengthen Thomas Frank’s squad.
According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Spurs are hoping to offload midfielder Yves Bissouma in the coming weeks and are working to create a market for the 28-year-old, with Juventus among the clubs showing interest.
