Chelsea and Newcastle also expressed interest in Kudus, but the player is reportedly keen on a move to Spurs.

Tottenham have been on the lookout for a versatile forward who can play across the front line, and Kudus fits the bill.

Will Mohammed Kudus find his form at Tottenham after a stuttering second Premier League season?

Kudus, who joined West Ham from Ajax in the 2023 summer transfer window, has scored 13 goals and set up 12 assists in 65 Premier League games. If the deal goes through, this will be the first transfer between the two London rivals since Scott Parker joined Spurs from West Ham in 2011.

Sky Sports News has reported that Tottenham's pursuit of Yoane Wissa will not be affected by Kudus' imminent arrival. There has been no club-to-club contact between Tottenham and Brentford as of yet, but it is expected to happen soon.

Analysis: Can Spurs help Kudus return to his best after a disappointing second season at West Ham?

Kudus was named the division's best newcomer by Sky Sports' Gary Neville in the 2023/24 season. However, his second season at West Ham saw a dip in form, with just five goals scored.

Tottenham, who finished three places below West Ham but scored 18 more goals, could provide the environment to help Kudus rekindle the form he showed in his first season in England.
