Tottenham confirm £55m signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham

Tottenham have completed the £55million signing of Ghanaian winger Mohammed Kudus from West Ham.

The Ghana international has penned a long-term contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and becomes the club’s first major signing under new head coach Thomas Frank.

The 24-year-old completed his medical at Spurs ahead of the announcement on Thursday night. He will wear the number 20 next season.

“One of the most important parts of why I came here is the project and how the manager sees it, and to develop under him,” he said. “With the history of where he’s come from, I’ve seen the amount of talent he’s developed to become great players.

“It’s a big sign of why I wanted to work under him as well.

“I’m very team-orientated so my personal goals are around helping the team get as many points as we can, to be as high as we can in the Premier League and perform really well and go as far as we can in the Champions League.”

Kudus, who joined West Ham from Ajax for £38m two years ago, scored five goals in the Premier League last season. In total for the Hammers, he scored 19 goals in 80 appearances.
