Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 47749, member: 636"] Tottenham want to smash their long freeze with West Ham United. The north London club targets Mohammed Kudus as their main summer signing. Spurs believe they can land the Ghana star for much less than his £85 million release clause. The 24-year-old would become the first player to swap these rival clubs since 2011. Scott Parker made that last direct move between the fierce London enemies. Thomas Frank's team looked at several other attacking players first. Bryan Mbeumo, Antoine Semenyo, and Eberechi Eze all caught their attention. Kudus emerged as the top choice for the new Tottenham manager. West Ham boss Graham Potter wants to sell the midfielder to fund his squad rebuild. The player seems open to crossing London for better opportunities. Daniel Levy blocked deals between these clubs for over a decade. The Tottenham chairman stopped Emmanuel Adebayor from joining West Ham back in 2015. Chelsea showed interest in Kudus, but they signed Jamie Gittens and João Pedro instead. The versatile forward brings Premier League and Champions League knowledge to Spurs. His ability to play multiple attacking positions gives Frank tactical flexibility. Tottenham must sell players before they can buy anyone this summer. Fresh investment from owners Enic could help fund transfers. Cristian Romero's future remains unclear after his public criticism of the club. Kudus cost West Ham almost £40 million from Ajax two summers ago. He scored 14 goals in his first English season but managed just five last campaign. [/QUOTE]
