Muhammed Kudus angrily react to Westham rejecting Spurs’ £50m bid – He’s ready for the move
Mohammed Kudus has reacted angrily to West Ham United’s decision to reject a £50 million bid from Tottenham Hotspur, with the Ghanaian star reportedly furious that the club is standing in the way of a move he desperately wants. The player, who has made no secret of his desire to join Spurs, is said to be “deeply frustrated” behind the scenes and has made it clear he’s ready to leave the London Stadium.
Sources close to Kudus have revealed that the 23-year-old was “shocked and upset” by West Ham’s swift rejection of Tottenham’s offer. “I’ve given everything to this club. The least they can do is respect my wishes,” Kudus is believed to have told close associates following the news. While he hasn’t spoken publicly, insiders say he feels “let down” and “trapped” by the club’s refusal to engage in negotiations.
The £50m bid from Spurs, reported by David Ornstein of The Athletic, was turned down immediately, with West Ham pointing to an £85 million release clause in Kudus’ contract – a clause only active for the first ten days of July. That clause gives them the leverage to demand a significantly higher fee, but Kudus feels their position is unreasonable, especially given his commitment during a difficult 2024-25 season.
“What more do they want from me?” Kudus reportedly said in private. “I stayed loyal, I fought for this badge – now it’s time to move forward.”
Despite a quieter campaign last season (five goals and four assists in 35 games), Kudus remains one of the most dynamic young attackers in the league. His debut season was sensational, producing 18 goals and 10 assists across all competitions. That form attracted attention across Europe, but Kudus made it clear to his representatives that Tottenham is where he wants to be next.
Spurs view him as the ideal signing to bolster their attack, especially after missing out on Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo. Manager Thomas Frank sees Kudus as a player who can offer flair, pace, and versatility across the front line. Reports also confirm that personal terms with Spurs would not be an issue – Kudus is fully ready for the switch.
However, West Ham’s hard-line stance has created tension, with Kudus feeling increasingly alienated. “Why keep a player who doesn’t want to stay? I’m ready for the next challenge,” he reportedly told teammates. His frustration is building, and if the impasse continues, he may be forced to take a more vocal and public approach to push for the move.
West Ham, meanwhile, are determined to keep hold of him unless Spurs meet the full £85m valuation. The clock is ticking, as the release clause expires soon – and with Kudus growing restless, pressure is mounting on both clubs to find a solution.
As things stand, the saga is far from over. Kudus is adamant: he wants Tottenham, and he wants it now. The next few days could define whether the player gets his wish – or whether his frustration explodes into a full-blown transfer standoff.
