Tottenham Hotspur has acquired forward Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United for an estimated transfer fee of £55 million.

The 24-year-old has joined the north London club on a long-term contract, for a reported fee of £54.5 million.

Kudus is the fifth player through the door at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer, as the club begins its newest era under Thomas Frank. He follows the arrivals of Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso, who both signed permanently after loans last season, as well as centre backs Luka Vuskovic and Kota Takai.

After joining West Ham from Ajax in 2023, Kudus made 80 appearances for The Hammers, scoring 19 goals and providing 13 assists. In the Premier League, he has racked up 25 goal contributions in 65 matches.

As a Ghana international, the attacking midfielder has represented his country 42 times, scoring 12 goals.

Despite the arrival of Kudus, who currently ranks as the club’s fourth most expensive transfer of all time and the most expensive Ghanaian player in history, Tottenham’s summer business looks far from over as they prepare for a return to the UEFA Champions League.

On Thursday, reports emerged linking the club with a move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White in a £60m deal after triggering his release clause. The England international is reportedly set to undergo a medical on Friday before making the Premier League switch.
