Tottenham face Chelsea competition for Mohamed Kudus signing
While Spurs continue to strengthen their youth ranks, they are also working on bolstering their senior squad, with West Ham’s Mohamed Kudus among their top targets this summer.
Reports suggest the Ghana international is open to a move to North London, but Tottenham face strong competition from Chelsea for Kudus, who are considering a late swoop to hijack the deal.
Football Insider revealed West Ham have already rejected an offer from Spurs fro Kudus, believed to be worth around £50m with £5m in add-ons.
With Chelsea monitoring the situation closely, Spurs may need to act fast with an improved bid if they are to avoid missing out on the forward.
