Tottenham Hotspur are not sitting quietly this summer. They are planning carefully, targeting players who can boost their attack.
One name has caught their attention, someone who stood out last season with explosive pace, technical brilliance, and a nose for goal.
Last week, the North London side made their move. They put a £55 million offer on the table. This was not just a random bid, it was strategic.
They wanted a proven attacker. Thomas Frank wants someone versatile and reliable.
He needs a player who could score, assist, and do both from different areas of the pitch.
But the approach did not go as planned. The club holding the player wasted no time in saying no. They believe the star is worth more, a lot more to be precise.
Internally, they expect him to hit double figures regularly. That is why the current offer is far from convincing.
What makes this more complicated is that the player is open to the move but not pushing for it.
He had a solid season last year and continues to grow. There is confidence around him.
His current club sees him as part of their long-term project.
Tottenham, however, are unlikely to give up just yet. They have seen the talent.
The dribbling, the vision, and the power; the player seems to be a complete package.
They know what he brings to the table. But until the asking price is met, this deal remains on hold.
As revealed by TBR Football, the player in question is Mohamed Kudus from West Ham United.
The Hammers are not ready to part ways with the Ghanaian just yet, not on those terms.
With the window still open, things could shift. But for now, Tottenham have hit a wall. And West Ham are holding their ground.
