Levy Ready to Break 14-Year Tottenham Record to Sign 'World-Class' Player

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly ready to break a 14-year freeze with West Ham by launching a major bid for Ghanaian forward Mohammed Kudus, a move that could redefine North London’s transfer landscape.

West Ham, under Graham Potter, are said to be reshaping their squad amid financial pressure from Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR), and Kudus has emerged as their top sellable asset . Despite an £85 million release clause, the Hammers may reportedly accept significantly less—around £60–65 million.

Tottenham’s initial opening bid reportedly stands at £50 million, a lowball intended to test the waters and unsettle both West Ham and the player’s camp . Levy, encouraged by new sporting leadership under Vinai Venkatesham and Fabio Paratici, appears ready to back manager Thomas Frank after workplace criticism over previous frugality.

Furthermore, Kudus is said to be open to a move to Spurs, which could immediately spark competitor interest from Chelsea, Newcastle, Arsenal, and even Saudi clubs . If Spurs act swiftly and decisively, they could leap ahead of the pack.

A successful acquisition of Kudus would not only end the Tottenham–West Ham transfer drought dating back to 2011 but also signal Levy’s newfound ambition—and possibly a shift in the club’s strategic momentum. As PSG spotlights intensify and Champions League football is on the horizon, Frank’s system could benefit immensely from Kudus’s ball-carrying ability and flair.

Add to that the emotional weight of bridging one of London football’s curious transfer gaps, and Tottenham’s pursuit becomes more than just business—it becomes a statement. Can Levy truly shatter the code, secure a bargain, and bring a world-class talent to N17? All signs point to a tense, high-stakes summer behind the scenes at Hotspur Way.
