Is Mohammed Kudus leaving West Ham?

While he's been winning hearts off the pitch, Kudus might also be on the cusp of a major transfer.

In a move that’s stirred plenty of interest, the Black Stars playmaker has signed with ROOF (Representatives of Outstanding Footballers), a top-tier agency known for handling big-name deals.

According to transfer market guru Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham Hotspur are circling.

The Europa League winners have reportedly placed Kudus high on their summer transfer wishlist.

New manager Thomas Frank is said to be eager to bring the Ghanaian star into his squad to strengthen their attacking options.

Top clubs monitor Kudus

Aside from Tottenham, other top European clubs are keeping an eye on Kudus this transfer window.

Teams in Germany and Italy admire his strong dribbling, quick thinking, and ability to play different roles in attack.

This interest shows how far he has come since leaving Ghana. A move to one of these leagues could test his skills at a higher level and make him an even stronger player for club and country.
