West Ham United are believed to have rejected a second offer for winger Mohammed Kudus.
The latest bid is reported to have come directly from Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy, with TBR Football suggesting that the offer was immediately turned down by the Hammers.
Details around the deal are currently thin on the ground, but it’s believed Spurs offered £55 million plus undisclosed bonuses—still well below West Ham’s valuation.
It’s worth noting that only yesterday, Claret & Hugh spoke to a top club source who denied any offer had been made by Spurs at all. In fact, the London Stadium insider was adamant that no bid or official approach had come from the North Londoners.
So, news of a second offer—if true—would mark a significant shift, but as it stands, nothing has been officially confirmed by West Ham.
That said, while West Ham have publicly valued Kudus at £85 million, it’s privately accepted that the club would likely agree to a deal closer to £65 million.
Even if the reported Spurs bid is accurate, it still falls well short of the figure needed to get a deal done for the Ghanaian international.
