According to reports, Tottenham's initial bid for Kudus included add-ons that would only be triggered if the club won the Champions League or Premier League. West Ham has rejected this offer, considering it unrealistic for Tottenham to achieve these goals. Despite this, West Ham is willing to sell the forward to boost their finances.

Kudus, a 24-year-old Ghana international, has a release clause that is active until Thursday. This means he can join Premier League clubs for £85 million, European clubs for £80 million, or teams from Saudi Arabia for £120 million. Other clubs, including Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr and Chelsea, are also interested in Kudus, who scored 19 goals in two seasons for West Ham. Tottenham remains confident of striking a deal, but may need to remove the trophy clauses for the deal to be agreed.
