Tottenham signed Mohammed Kudus from West Ham for £55 million, marking a significant player transfer between rival clubs. Plans to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest have stalled, as Forest threatened legal action due to Tottenham allegedly contacting Gibbs-White without permission. Kudus cited his desire to play in the Champions League and develop under manager Thomas Frank as driving factors for his decision to join Tottenham. His transfer follows a trophy success, setting a positive tone for the club's future under Frank.
Kudus became the first player since 2011 to make the move from the Hammers to rivals Spurs in a reported £55 million deal. Gibbs-White's transfer has been delayed due to Nottingham Forest threatening legal action, as they did not permit Tottenham to speak with him.
Kudus said the combination of playing in Europe's elite competition and Frank's track record of developing talent at Brentford were major factors in his decision to join Tottenham. He expressed excitement about being at the club and starting this new chapter.
"I have always wanted to play at the highest level. How big the club is, the history, and the Champions League as well, so it is a big moment. I am finally here and am very happy. I can't wait to start," Kudus stated.
"The most important part of why I came here is the project and how the manager sees that I can develop under him. I have seen the amount of talent he has developed to become great players, and that is a big sign of why I wanted to work under him as well," Kudus elaborated.
