A transfer may prove a coup for Tottenham. It already looks a failure from West Ham. From Graham Potter, who got just two goals and two assists from such a gifted player in 18 appearances and who did not seem to have a gameplan to get the best from him, just as Julen Lopetegui did not either.

Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United and are now reported to be closing in on a deal for Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White.

Tottenham have completed the signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham for £55m, subject to work permit. The Ghana midfielder, who had an £85m release clause, has joined Spurs on a six-year contract until 2031. West Ham rejected an initial £50m from Tottenham last week.
