‘I think’: Harry Redknapp says what he honestly thinks about Tottenham signing Kudus from West Ham

Despite their rejected bids, Tottenham Hotspur are still pushing to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham.

Tottenham made a third bid to sign Mohammed Kudus over the weekend, however, West Ham weren’t happy with how Daniel Levy structured the deal.

Tottenham offered £50m up front for Mohammed Kudus with £12.5m in add-ons, but the majority of those additions were somewhat unrealistic, at least from David Sullivan’s perspective.

Levy included add-ons on the provision of Spurs winning the Premier League or Champions League, something that is unlikely to happen over the next 12 months at least.

But Kudus wants to sign for Tottenham, and equally, West Ham seem ready to cash in if the right deal is presented.

The club recognise that they need to make several additions to strengthen Graham Potter’s squad this summer, and a cash injection would be welcome in that regard.

Harry Redknapp gives his thoughts on Tottenham signing Mohammed Kudus

That being said, former Spurs and West Ham boss Harry Redknapp has now offered his thoughts on Kudus’ potential move to north London.

Redknapp was speaking on talkSPORT (08/07, 7:40am) early Tuesday morning and was asked about Spurs’ business so far this summer, including a deal for Kudus.

And whilst Redknapp seemed to be in favour of the move, he did confess to some reservations.

Asked if Kudus would fit the bill at Spurs, Redknapp replied: “Yeah, he’s not bad. There’s no doubting his ability. I know one or two people around the place at West Ham, I think there are question marks over him.

“I think his ability is not questionable but I don’t know. But he’s certainly got ability and he’s a player that when he gets on the ball, he can make things happen, he’ll be exciting.

“So yeah he’ll certainly bring something to Tottenham for sure.”

Mohammed Kudus might thrive as a striker under Thomas Frank

Perhaps some of Tottenham’s Kudus appeal is owing to his versatility across attacking positions.

The 24-year-old often played as an attacking midfielder and even as a false nine for Ajax before joining West Ham.

And whilst a spot on the right wing seems to be most productive for the Ghana international, he boasts a strong record in each role so far in his career.

Of course, many Spurs fans currently imagine that Kudus will come in to compete with Brennan Johnson for a starting role under Thomas Frank, should a fee be agreed with West Ham.

But perhaps Kudus could even deputise for Dominic Solanke on occasion through the middle, especially if Everton re-sign Richarlison late in the summer.
