Tottenham Hotspur have pulled off one of the standout transfers of the summer with the official signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United for a fee of £55 million, making the 24-year-old Ghanaian forward the most expensive Ghanaian footballer in history.
✅ “Here We Go!” – Kudus Is a Spur
Fabrizio Romano has given his trademark seal of approval – “Here we go!” – confirming that Kudus will sign a six-year contract with Tottenham after completing his medical in London on Thursday. David Ornstein was first to report that Spurs had reached a full agreement with West Ham, with the final fee of £54.5m to be paid in installments over three years.
Kudus made it abundantly clear throughout the process that Tottenham was his only destination. Despite offers from at least six top clubs — including Chelsea, Newcastle, Atletico Madrid, and three Premier League sides offering him higher wages — Sami Mokbel, Sky Sports, and ITK sources all confirm Kudus rejected every other proposal. His clear intention was to join Spurs, and Spurs only.
🧠 A Statement Signing for Thomas Frank
Spurs head coach Thomas Frank reportedly made signing a new winger his top priority, and Kudus fits that mould perfectly. The former Ajax star is one of Europe’s most electrifying attackers, capable of playing across the front line or as an advanced midfielder.
Kudus successfully completed more dribbles (216) than any other Premier League player across the past two seasons, and ranked second in offensive duels won (261) in Europe’s top seven leagues last season — behind only Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.
This is a signing not just of quality, but of intent. With his elite ball-carrying, explosiveness in transition, and eye for goal, Kudus could be the player that helps elevate Spurs’ attack to a new level under Frank.

🔒 Spurs Stand Firm on Romero
Meanwhile, Spurs have shut the door on any exit for Cristian Romero. Javier Dias of AS reports that Atletico Madrid have officially ended their pursuit of the Argentine defender after repeated rejections from Tottenham.
Spurs made it crystal clear: Cuti is not for sale. Romero has just returned from holiday and will report for pre-season with Thomas Frank. With his leadership, aggression, and top-tier quality at the back, Romero remains untouchable — a key piece of the new Spurs era.
🧱 Club Opts to Keep Luka Vusković
Tottenham also intend to retain 17-year-old centre-back Luka Vušković for the 2025/26 season, according to Nico Schira. Despite speculation of a potential loan, Spurs are keen to integrate the highly rated Croatian into the first-team setup, especially with European football on the horizon.
💰 Spurs Set Bissouma Price
Finally, midfielder Yves Bissouma could be heading for the exit door, with Spurs demanding €25 million for the Malian international. Bissouma has attracted interest from clubs in Italy and France, and Tottenham are prepared to listen to offers if the valuation is met.
🏁 Final Word
Mohammed Kudus’ arrival marks a statement moment for Tottenham Hotspur. A player courted by Europe’s elite chose Spurs — not for the money, but for the project.
With Romero staying, Vušković developing, and new pieces falling into place under Thomas Frank, the message is clear: Spurs are building something special.
