Tottenham Hotspur have officially signed Ghanaian winger Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United in a high-profile £55 million deal — a rare direct transfer between the fierce London rivals. The 24-year-old has inked a six-year contract after successfully completing his medical earlier this week.
Spurs confirmed the move late Thursday evening, making Kudus one of their marquee summer signings. Though the player previously had an £85 million release clause for Premier League clubs, West Ham accepted a lower fee to fund their own recruitment drive. Tottenham’s opening offer of £50 million was turned down last week, but they returned with an improved bid to get the deal over the line.
Transfer Push Continues: Gibbs-White Set for Medical
Meanwhile, Spurs are not slowing down. According to BBC Sport, Morgan Gibbs-White is expected to undergo a medical at the club’s training ground in N17 on Friday. Tottenham have activated the £60 million release clause in his Nottingham Forest contract and are finalizing the details of the deal, with talks intensifying in the next 24 hours.
Gibbs-White, 25, joined Forest from Wolves in 2022 for a then club-record £25 million plus bonuses. Since then, he has made 118 appearances, scored 18 goals, and earned four caps for England. His imminent departure will be another blow for Forest fans, especially with Anthony Elanga also reportedly heading out — the Swedish winger is set to join Newcastle United in a £55 million transfer.
What’s Next for Spurs’ Attack?
Tottenham’s front line is undergoing a dramatic transformation ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. The permanent signing of Mathys Tel, along with the arrivals of Kudus and Gibbs-White, signals a bold shift in strategy for a club previously known for caution in the market.
With attacking options like James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, and Heung-Min Son all battling for places behind new striker Dominic Solanke, competition will be fierce. Spurs are clearly assembling a dynamic and versatile squad, determined to make a serious challenge in the upcoming season.
