Tottenham have reportedly identified West Ham star Mohammed Kudus as a key target this summer, amid interest from Arsenal.
 

The 24-year-old attacker is widely expected to leave the Hammers, with several Premier League clubs keen on a potential move.

Previous reports have claimed that Arsenal and Chelsea held exploratory talks over signing the Ghana international.

Now, another London club has entered the race.

According to multiple reports in England, including The Telegraph and The Guardian, Kudus has been earmarked as a priority signing for Tottenham this summer.

West Ham are under pressure to sell valuable assets ahead of next season in order to bring in new players.

Kudus is among those assets, with West Ham reportedly open to offers of around £60m — despite the player having an £85m release clause, which can be activated by Premier League clubs until July 10.

There is a growing belief that Kudus could be allowed to leave the London Stadium for a fee well below his existing release clause.
