Tottenham were clear that significant signings needed to make to improve on last season’s Premier League form, and they are now set to close the first major addition to Thomas Frank’s squad ahead of the 2025-26 campaign kicking off next month.
In recent weeks, Tottenham have moved towards signing Mohammed Kudus from London rivals West Ham. Chelsea have also shown interest in the Ghana international, but he made it clear that he only wants to head to the north of England’s capital city.
Negotiations have been ongoing between Tottenham and West Ham, but these have now come to an end.

As per David Ornstein, Tottenham have reached an agreement with West Ham to sign Kudus, with the total package worth in the region of £55m. The 24-year-old, who registered five goals and three assists in 32 Premier League appearances last season, will now travel for medical tests before signing his new contract, which will last for six years.
Kudus can play on either wing, and this will be very valuable for Tottenham. He will compete with the likes of Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min for a starting spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he should amass plenty of playing time in the Champions League too.

Kudus will add an extra edge of dynamism to Tottenham’s attack next season, and his arrival should allow the Europa League champions to perform much better in the Premier League, which will be the basic requirement of Frank from the club’s board of directors, headed up by Daniel Levy.
But it is clear that further additions are needed before the summer transfer window closes at the start of September, and it remains to be seen who joins Kudus in north London.
