“West Ham SLAMS Spurs’ SHOCKING ‘Imminent’ Bid for Star Player – You Won’t BELIEVE Their Explosive Stance!”

West Ham United have taken a firm stance amid rumours of an imminent bid from Tottenham Hotspur for Mohammed Kudus.

The two clubs haven’t conducted business for 14 years, with tensions stemming from failed past deals and bitter off-field disputes.

The last transfers between the clubs occurred in 2011, with David Bentley joining West Ham on loan and Scott Parker heading to Spurs.

Relations deteriorated further in 2015 when Daniel Levy cancelled a deadline-day deal for Emmanuel Adebayor, prompting then-co-owner David Gold to declare Levy was someone “you just can’t do business with.”

Hostility deepened when West Ham’s vice-chair Karren Brady and Levy clashed during a legal battle over the London Stadium, effectively triggering an unofficial transfer freeze between the London rivals.

However, reports now suggest Tottenham, backed by new manager Thomas Frank, are preparing a move for Kudus, who is available for sale due to West Ham’s financial restrictions under Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

The club is desperate to generate funds so that incoming boss Graham Potter can reshape the squad. Kudus is among the players expected to be sold, but Spurs’ potential involvement presents a dilemma.

A source told Hammers News that Levy is eyeing a £50 million deal, significantly below Kudus’ £85 million release clause.

Yet, that clause is flexible, with the club free to negotiate a lower fee. Nonetheless, West Ham are unwilling to entertain lowball offers—especially from Spurs.

Kudus had a mixed second season, contributing five goals and four assists—down from 20 goal involvements the previous campaign. Still, his potential remains high, and the club values him accordingly.

In response to Spurs’ interest, a senior West Ham official clarified the board’s position, confirming three key points:

1. West Ham would consider selling to Tottenham despite past animosity.

2. Kudus will not be sold for less than £65 million.

3. Multiple clubs are interested in the Ghanaian forward.

The board reportedly told Hammers News: “We would not sell him for under £65m. There is lots of interest.”

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle are also monitoring the situation, potentially setting the stage for a bidding war.

Selling to Spurs could provoke backlash from fans, as it may be perceived as West Ham conceding superiority to their rivals.

When Arsenal showed interest earlier this month, a £50m bid was dismissed outright.

Ultimately, West Ham are open to selling Kudus—but only on their terms and at a price that reflects his talent and market value.
