In one of the most high-profile transfers of the summer, Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a sensational ₦114 billion (approximately £55 million) deal with West Ham United to sign Ghanaian international Mohammed Kudus, according to reliable insider @benny_jacobs5.
The 23-year-old attacking midfielder is expected to sign a six-year contract with Spurs, pending a medical scheduled for this Thursday.
Kudus has been a top priority target for Tottenham since early June, with manager Ange Postecoglou reportedly seeing the dynamic midfielder as a key piece in his rebuild of the squad.
Kudus, who joined West Ham in 2023 from Ajax, quickly established himself as a Premier League standout with his flair, technical skill, and eye for goal.
His performances last season—where he notched up double figures in both goals and assists across all competitions—drew attention from top clubs across Europe. However, it’s Spurs who have won the race.

Negotiations between the London rivals were tense and prolonged, but West Ham ultimately accepted the improved £55 million bid, clearing the way for Kudus to become Tottenham’s marquee signing of the summer.
Fans and pundits alike are split.
While many Spurs supporters are thrilled with the club’s ambition, questions remain over whether Kudus can consistently deliver at the very top level.
Still, with his talent and potential, it’s a gamble Tottenham seem more than willing to take.
With his medical scheduled for Thursday, Spurs fans will be hoping all goes smoothly as they welcome one of Africa’s most exciting talents to North London.
