West Ham would reject a £50m offer from Spurs for Mohammed Kudus if they were to make a formal offer.
A Guardian report suggested that Daniel Levy would test the Hammers’ resolve by making an opening £50m offer.
West Ham insiders insist there is considerable interest in Kudus from around the world, and while there have been no formal bids as yet, they are hoping for a bidding war from multiple clubs to sign the 24-year-old.
The Hammers still hope to raise £80m from the sale of their Ghanaian player, but won’t accept less than £65m this summer, so any bids below that figure will be swiftly rejected.
West Ham will not sell Kudus to Spurs on the cheap
West Ham would rather not deal with Daniel Levy and Spurs and consider a sale to Chelsea a far more palatable deal.
Kudus dumped his previous agent, Jennifer Mendelewitsch, and then his older brother, Mohammed Fatawu, and has recently moved to a German agency called ROOF.
It is the new agent at ROOF who now holds the key to Mohamed Kudus’ next club this summer.
