Tottenham Hotspur has officially completed the signing of Ghana’s midfielder, Mohammed Kudus, for a rumored fee of £55 million. The deal was finalized on Thursday, July 10, 2025, with Kudus signing a long-term contract and set to wear the No. 20 shirt, a fact reported by outlets such as theScore.com and Sky Sports.
Days ago, it was widely rumored that Spurs were keen on signing Kudus to strengthen their midfield, given his versatility to also play as a winger. The Athletic reported that Tottenham agreed to pay around €64.8 million (approximately £55 million) to secure his services, even though West Ham initially valued him closer to his £85 million release clause. Kudus reportedly expressed a strong preference to join Spurs, viewing it as the ideal next step for Champions League football, according to OneFootball and Sky Sports.
Kudus becomes the fifth signing for Spurs this summer, following Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic, and Kota Takai, who joined the team a few weeks ago, as noted by the Premier League and Transfermarkt.
The 24-year-old Kudus (he turns 25 in August) played 32 games last season in the Premier League, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists. While his goal and assist numbers were lower in his second season at West Ham compared to his first, his dribbling ability continued to stand out, according to Sky Sports and Transfermarkt.
As the team continues preparations for the next season, including their participation in the UEFA Champions League, manager Thomas Frank is actively looking to sign new players to strengthen the squad.
Frank was officially appointed as Tottenham’s new head coach on June 12, 2025, signing a three-year contract after a successful seven-year spell at Brentford, as reported by Al Jazeera and beIN SPORTS. He replaces Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked despite winning the Europa League with Spurs.
