Tottenham Hotspur are now ready to break their unofficial transfer embargo with their London rivals, which has lasted 14 years, by securing the signing of one of their biggest stars.
Spurs fans are getting impatient as they watch their Premier League rivals make some big moves in the transfer window while the Lilywhites are yet to kick into action in a major way.
However, that might be about to change soon, with Tottenham set to advance on a winger, who has been linked with a move to N17 over the last few weeks.
It first emerged two weeks ago Tottenham are considering an audacious move to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, and a new report has now claimed that Spurs are prepared to advance on the Ghana international.
Mohammed Kudus could be the first player to move from West Ham to Tottenham since 2011
The Telegraph have now revealed that Spurs are ready to end their unofficial ‘transfer embargo’ with the Hammers by pressing ahead with a move for Kudus.
The outlet claims that even though Tottenham Hotspur have also shown interest in the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Antoine Semenyo and Eberechi Eze this summer, it is the West Ham man who is the most likely signing to bolster Thomas Frank’s attacking options.
If Spurs do win the race for the 24-year-old, he will become the first player since Scott Parker in 2011 to swap the East London club for N17.
The outlet claims that Spurs are optimistic that they can clinch a deal for Kudus for a fee well below his £85m release clause.
Two London rivals could challenge Spurs for Kudus
The Telegraph say that the former Ajax man is seen as someone who will give Frank plenty of options, given his ability to play across the forward line, but Spurs are yet to submit an offer for the versatile attacker.
The publication asserts that Chelsea are also monitoring Kudus, but it is pointed out that the Blues are now on the verge of landing Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro, which may potentially open the door for Tottenham to secure the Ghanaian.
It was claimed a few days ago by TBR Football that Arsenal could challenge Tottenham for Kudus, with Mikel Arteta keen on adding more firepower to the Gunners attack.
