Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a £55million deal with West Ham United for Mohammed Kudus, football.london understands. The Ghanaian is set to undergo a medical and become Thomas Frank's third signing since arriving from Brentford.
The 24-year-old is set to sign a six-year deal in North London after becoming a key player during his two-year spell with the Hammers. Kudus will join Mathys Tel through the door after his loan move from Bayern Munich was made permanent in a deal worth £30m, and Koko Takai, who joined from Kawasaki Frontale for a fee of £5million.
Spurs pinpointed Kudus as the first big-money signing of the Dane's era after swapping Brentford for Spurs following Ange Postecoglou's dismissal.
Personal terms are not expected to be an issue for Kudus after he prioritised a cross-London switch to move to the Europa League holders.
Frank met up with his new squad on Monday and the club will embark on a pre-season tour of Asia, where they will play Arsenal and Newcastle in Hong Kong and South Korea.
The latest development regarding Kudus means Spurs are a step closer to landing their target before they're due to fly out to the Far East at the end of July following their encounter with League One side Luton Town on July 26.
His imminent arrival comes as Frank faces an important task in strengthening his attacking-line with question marks surrounding the future of captain Son Heung-min and former Everton forward Richarlison.
Speaking after returning for pre-season, the 51-year-old expressed his excitement at having the full complement of his squad ahead of their preparations for the campaign.
He said: "That's what I want. I want everyone in, really compare them against each other, see how they make themselves a relationship.
"Of course, I know the group in terms of looking from the outside, but it's different when you're on the inside and you work with them, you feel them, you understand them better and we all have our own views on certain players or relationship and it's up to me to find that perfect combination that make the team perform on the highest possible level."
He added: "Yeah, it's been good. We had the first session on the grass today.
"There was a lot of tests Saturday, so it's been good to have them out there.
"That's the fun bit, that's where we try to affect things. So yeah, good effort, good mentality. Happy."
