TBR Football understands that Tottenham Hotspur have made a third bid for Mohammed Kudus, which exceeds £60m, however, the add-ons are deemed unacceptable.

Tottenham have already had two bids rejected by West Ham United for Kudus, and now a third has been quickly dismissed by the Hammers.

TBR Football reported this week that Tottenham’s £55m offer for Kudus was rejected, which followed an offer worth £50m made back in June.

Sources have now made it clear to TBR Football that a deal could be struck for under £60m if the North London club make the right type of offer.

Tottenham have a third Mohammed Kudus bid rejected

Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent at TBR Football – has now been informed that Tottenham Hotspur have made a third bid for Mohammed Kudus worth in excess of £60 million.

Daniel Levy’s latest offer for the 24-year-old was believed to be £50m plus £12.5m in add-ons, but these additional parts were not taken seriously by David Sullivan.

The majority of the add-ons that the North London club offered were barely attainable and included Spurs winning the Premier League and Champions League.

But, the Hammers want cash, and TBR Football sources believe that if Spurs offer enough in cash and no add-ons, they could get him for less than £60m.

Kudus has confirmed to West Ham that he wants to join Tottenham, and he is now focused on making the switch across the capital.

TBR Football had already reported that Kudus wanted to join Tottenham, but now his desire has been communicated to the East Londoners.

Ideally, Sullivan would not like to sell to Spurs, but it is becoming apparent that he has little choice, with the Lilywhites the only club at the table right now.

Arsenal held talks for Kudus, and there was interest from elsewhere, but Tottenham are the only club to have really stepped up their interest in the Ghanaian international.

Mohammed Kudus could become Tottenham’s joint third-highest signing

Should Tottenham agree to pay around £60 million for Kudus, he would become the club’s joint third-highest signing.

Dominic Solanke’s arrival from Bournemouth was the highest fee the club paid for a player as they brought him in for £65m.

Tanguy Ndombele’s disastrous move from Lyon cost Spurs £63m, the Frenchman proved shocking value at that price.

£60m for the West Ham attacker would take him level with what they paid to bring in Richarlison from Everton back in 2022.

The North London club have not had a great success rate with big-money additions, but Kudus is a player who has already proven himself in the Premier League and on the European stage.
