Mohammed Kudus completes Spurs transfer with four-word message for angry West Ham fans

Tottenham have backed new manager Thomas Frank with a sensational deal for West Ham and Ghana forward Mohammed Kudus but the North London side are not done there

Tottenham Hotspur have completed a sensational £55m deal for West Ham star Mohammed Kudus. Speaking in Spurs’ announcement video, he sent a cheeky message saying ‘I only wanted Spurs’.

Kudus has reportedly signed a six-year deal with Spurs following his move across the capital. The Ghanaian will wear the number 20 shirt as a Spurs player. West Ham penned a short statement confirming his exit.

It read: “West Ham United can confirm that Mohammed Kudus has completed a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed fee.

“The 24-year-old Ghana international departs having made 80 appearances and scored 19 goals during a two-year spell with the Hammers. West Ham United would like to thank Mohammed for his service and wish him well for the future.”

Kudus will not have to wait particularly long to be reunited with his former side. Spurs travel to West Ham in September in the Premier League, while his competitive debut for his new side could potentially come against European champions Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup.

Kudus’ move to Spurs comes on the same day that they decided to activate a £60m release clause in the contract of Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White. The pair would take Spurs’ spending to close to £200m this summer, with new boss Thomas Frank having been well backed in the market.

The North London side have signed Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel on permanent deals from Lens and Bayern Munich respectively, while they have also signed Luka Vuskovic from Dinamo Zagreb. A deal has also been agreed for Kota Takai from J1 League side Kawasaki Frontale.

Spurs were previously interested in a move for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, with Frank keen to be reunited with the forward. But Premier League rivals Manchester United appeared to be favoured by Mbeumo.

But as it stands, a deal is still to be rubber stamped. The Red Devils have already had two bids turned down for Mbeumo but are still keen to sign him before they fly to the USA for a pre-season tour.

Spurs will certainly be hopeful that their outlay allows them a better season than last time. The North London side finished 17th in the Premier League table under Ange Postecoglou, who was eventually sacked.

The Australian however did manage to lead the club back into the Champions League as they won the Europa League against Manchester United.
