London, July 11, 2025 — Tottenham Hotspur have completed the blockbuster signing of Ghanaian international Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United for a fee of around £55 million, reportedly spread over three years, with a six‑year contract through to 2031.
A Statement Move
This acquisition ends a 14‑year drought of direct transfers between the two London rivals — the last such move being Scott Parker’s move to Spurs in 2011 . It underscores Tottenham Manager Thomas Frank’s intent to elevate the club’s attacking potency.
Stats & Style: What Spurs Get
Over two Premier League seasons at West Ham (2023–25), Kudus recorded 13 goals and 12 assists . His versatility—able to play as an attacking midfielder or right winger—combined with his electric pace and agility, makes him a perfect fit for Frank’s dynamic playstyle.
Clearing the Air
Fans may recall Kudus received a five-match ban following a red card in an ill-tempered clash with now-teammates Micky van de Ven and Pape Sarr in October 2024 . Tottenham have quickly defused any lingering tension: midfielder James Maddison posted a playful Instagram video, and the club released a lighthearted TikTok of Kudus and Van de Ven shaking hands over lunch.

Player Perspective
Kudus, who turns 25 in August, emphasized Tottenham’s project and Frank’s reputation:
“I only wanted Spurs… With the history [Frank has with player development]… it’s why I wanted to work under him.”
He acknowledges a dip in output last season—5 goals in 32 Prem games—yet is confident he’ll regain form in London.
Bigger Picture
The summer window has been fierce: Tottenham also secured Mathys Tel and defender Kota Takai. Meanwhile, Spurs are still pursuing Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs‑White, although Forest has lodged a complaint with the Premier League over Spurs’ approach.
Reaction & Expectations
Tottenham supporters are energized—believing Kudus can add flair, unpredictability, and Champions League quality to a squad already reshaped by six-year veterans. If the move pays off, Spurs may finally challenge on multiple fronts.
What’s Next?
Kudus will join pre-season training later this week and could debut in Spurs’ July 26 friendly vs. Paris Saint-Germain in Singapore. His impact this season may well define whether Tottenham’s £55 million splurge was a justified investment—or a costly gamble.
