From the streets of Nima to the grand stages of the Premier League, Ghana’s footballing gem Mohammed Kudus has officially etched his name into the history books. The dynamic midfielder has shattered the record for Ghana’s most expensive football transfer, surpassing Thomas Partey’s 2020 move to Arsenal, with a stunning £55 million (€63 million) switch from West Ham United to Tottenham Hotspur.
This landmark deal, worth approximately GHS 770.3 million, marks a defining moment in both Ghanaian football and Kudus’ rising career. The fee eclipses Partey’s £45 million (€50 million) transfer to Arsenal, which stood as Ghana’s highest until now.
The transfer didn’t come easy. Spurs’ initial £50 million offer was turned down, a sign of West Ham’s reluctance to let go of one of their prized assets. But Tottenham’s persistence — and Kudus’ preference for the North London club — paid off.
From Rising Star to Record Breaker
Kudus joined West Ham in 2023 for £38 million and wasted no time proving his worth. With his electric dribbling, fearless runs, and consistent impact, he became one of the Premier League’s most exciting midfielders. His performances drew attention from elite clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle, and even high-paying Saudi teams.
However, the former Ajax man had eyes only for Spurs.
“Tottenham showed belief in my ability and a clear vision for the future. I’m ready for this next chapter,” Kudus reportedly told close sources.
A New Era for Ghanaian Talent
For Tottenham, the acquisition of Kudus is a bold statement of ambition — to build a side capable of challenging for silverware, both domestically and in the Champions League. For Ghana, this move is a symbol of pride and progress, reinforcing the country’s growing reputation as a producer of world-class football talent.
