Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus has reported for pre-season training with West Ham United despite ongoing transfer speculation.
Tottenham Hotspur are leading the chase for his signature, but negotiations have stalled due to West Ham’s dissatisfaction with Spurs’ latest bid.
The bid included performance-based add-ons that West Ham deemed unrealistic, such as bonuses tied to Spurs winning the Premier League or Champions League.
Kudus is open to joining a Champions League club and has a release clause in his contract that could facilitate a move.
The clause allows Premier League clubs to sign him for £85 million, while European clubs outside England can do so for £80 million.
Saudi Arabian teams would need to meet a higher threshold of £120 million. The clause expires on Thursday, adding urgency to the negotiations.Other clubs, including Al Nassr and Chelsea, are monitoring the situation closely.
Tottenham may need to revise their offer to satisfy West Ham’s demands. Kudus has become a key player for West Ham since joining from Ajax in 2023, scoring 19 goals in two seasons. His future remains uncertain as the transfer saga continues.
