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.

British media reported the deal is worth around 55 million pounds for Ghana's Mohammed Kudus, who turns 25 next month.

Tottenham Hotspur have signed forward Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United on a long-term contract, the North London club said late on Thursday.
